Carlos Zuniga tells The Hispanic Food Network owning and operating Tacos Tumbras es un sueno, it’s an American dream come true ” American people say, Es un sueno Americano for me and my family it’s a sueno Americano,” says Carlos Zuniga, owner of Taco Tumbras in Spokane

Carlos started in a taco truck on Division in Spokane but always wanted to open a standing restaurant. About five years ago he opened his first restaurant at 9420 E. Sprauge, in November of 2009 Zuniga opened his second restaurant in downtown Spokane on W. 2nd.

Zuniga says it takes a ton of hard work to keep them going.

“For me and my family it’s very hard because we work seven days a week. We start at nine in the morning and we close at nine at night. We go to sleep at 11:30 at night,” said Zuniga.

The business is definitely a family affair. Zuniga runs the restaurants with hife wife Susana and son Ben.

The family is orginally from Mexico city, Mexico.

Carlos tells The Hispanic Food Network what makes his food different is the fact he doesn’t use many spices. He lets the food create the flavors.

“My food is very authentic, we use fresh products queso fresco, Mexican sour cream and cactus, chile serano, chile verano for me it’s very authentic it’s my secret,” says Zuniga

The favorite on the Taco Tumbras menu is the Taco Tumbras Fajita, he wouldn’t tell The Hispanic Food Network what was in it. One things that’s no secret is how good the food in at Taco Tumbras.
