Ah, we have more than a few who have transplanted and who have opened restaurants here and done QUITE well.
More than a few families have opened a couple of locations and are making very successful businesses out of them. I am amazed by the # of Mexican restaurants in this town. In fact, there is a place across the highway from me, that serves AWESOME food, and amazing amounts of it for that fact, at a great price.
I've never been to Cali, but have been in South Eastern Arizona, and into Nogales in Northeastern Mexico and the food here does rank up there. I love the food, couldn't do it every day tho.
