KINGSBURG â Two Kingsburg businesses are seeing a new lease on life in the new year despite 2020âs tumultuousness. El Patron Taqueria and Yum Yum Yogurt are local favorites seeing a renewed rise in popularity. Both businesses re-opened their doors on Saturday, Jan. 2 and are experiencing steady traffic.
El Patron is owned and operated by Elvira Gallardo; she has been running the family business out of a local gas station on Marion St. for the last seven years. After concerns and comments from customers about parking, Gallardo opened a new location on Simpson Street.
El Patron serves up many familiar staples: tacos, burritos, tortas and the like filled with asada, carnitas and chicken. Katrina Gallardo â the ownerâs daughter â handles the eateryâs front work while her mother runs the kitchen using family recipes.
