LOS ANGELES — They were a cherished but anonymous part of the tapestry of northwest Pomona, a family, reportedly from somewhere in Los Angeles, who set up their taco stand on the sidewalk outside a busy Cardenas Market.
People lined up for their pastor and tortas — two for $10 on Tuesdays — enjoying their food without knowing the vendors’ names.
“I always get two tacos,” said 17-year-old Janice Garbanzo, who came to the scene with her parents Saturday to pay her respects. “The pastor guy would always chop a big hunk of pineapple and put it on top. I hope he’s OK.”
