Gracias Señor's customers in Pacific Palisades were 70% locals, including many students from the local high school that burned down. On the day the fire started, taquero Rudy Barrientos barely made it out in time to not have to abandon his popular food truck.

“We need to support each other. If we don’t do it, nobody’s going to do it,” one of the volunteers said through his N-95 mask.
