The couple, who started tinkering in their apartment kitchen in 2019 in an effort to recreate the breakfast tacos Jaramillo grew up eating, raised $180,000 from family and friends to bring their restaurant to life. That's a relatively small amount for opening a brand-new restaurant, noted May: "We were able to do it on a pretty shoestring budget." When they raised money, they didn't give up any equity, meaning Jaramillo and May own 100% of the company. "I think we both have strong entrepreneurial instincts but we don't come from a finance or a business background," said May. "There's a certain value to the human piece that you get when you come to the shop," said May.
