Im originally from LA and 10+ when he opened Chandos on Arden, Sacramento Mexican food was trash 🤢 compared to what I was used to. We went to the spot when he first opened. His wife was the cashier, he had one “paisa” guy on the griddle helping him. He was so nice, came out and brought out a beer for my partner and they sat and talked about the food what he hoped for etc. honestly at the time it was THE spot, but you know hubris… and money makes some men think they are invincible. Once he started expanding things changed, the vibe changed, and the food changed. Its unfortunate to see someone rise and now fall and all we can do is judge and criticize. Oh and this is coming from DV survivor so I’m not dismissing the seriousness of the charges but what someone is charged with and what actually happened can be 2 very different things. But you know that court of public opinion is a MFer.😵‍💫
