Catching Up with Clarita Trujillo

There’s a wonderful profile of Tacos Clarita proprietress Clarita Trujillo in today’s LA Times. Trujillo is an old Boyle Heights celebrity who used to make the rounds on Spanish language TV back in the day. She got her start in the 80’s serving huaraches on paper napkins to Jessica Maldonado on “Hola Los Angeles.” She was soon on almost every station in the Spanish language TV world and even made the occasion trip to PBS.

Things aren’t going quite as well for the 76-year-old grandmother of 32 these days.

She charmed audiences on morning talk shows.
