At a food truck tucked away on the corner of East Cesar Chavez Street, patrons are greeted with music, the smell of juicy birria tacos and the face of one of their youngest employees — Arii Armani Rene Tobias.
“I’m 12. I tell people I’m 21 to joke around,” Tobias said.
But don’t let his baby face fool you. Tobias takes his job at his family’s food truck very seriously.
“It is a job, obviously, I still take it seriously, but it mostly doesn’t feel like a job most of the time because I’m here working with my family. You know, we joke and play sometimes,” Tobias said. “But it doesn’t really feel like a job too much because it feels like home.”
Tobias’ family runs Love C Spot. The family-owned food truck specializes in birria tacos but has anything from tacos to quesadillas to their own version of a Crunch Wrap Supreme on their menu. Tobias started working at his family’s food truck after he saw how much his parents were enjoying it.
