After culinary school and working at State of Grace in Houston, Texas, Victoria Elizondo started Cochinita & Co in 2016 as a food truck, pop-upfonda and catering business, which evolved to become a home at Kickin' Kombucha. One of the first female-owned food trucks and taqueria that works with local farmers, she also hosts supper clubs and charity events. As a Dreamer (DACA), she cannot return to the Mexico of her childhood but recreates the flavours, vibrancy and sense of community in the food she cooks.
