It’s Dine Latino Restaurant Week, and special menus are in place at restaurants all over Los Angeles.
KNX News’ Karen Adams stopped by Andrea’s Healthy Kitchen, a juice bar in El Monte. The shop’s co-owner Andrew Pacheco said Dine Latino Restaurant Week comes at the perfect time of year.
“Especially when the sun, the heat starts coming up, for us it gets extra busier,” he said. “That's when people want to start drinking juices, they want to start with a healthy meal in the mornings.”
Pacheco said they're glad to participate this year after recovering from a fire that shut them down in 2020.
“It took us a year to basically repair,” he said. “The community didn't let us basically close. We took a week off and we just kept working.”
Along with juices and smoothies, Pacheco said the restaurant’s most popular items include a pesto chicken sandwich and Soyrizo breakfast bagel.
