as alejandro and alvaro made their way inside alejandro's grandma's house, mama coco. alejandro's family was very close to alvaro's family. the boys were usually close like brothers, of course both had siblings of their own but ale and varo were both the same age so they related to each other more. "hola mama coco!" both of the boys said to the old lady who seemed to has not aged since 50. mama coco got up from the couch and went to give kisses to both boys. "mis niños, como están?" she said smiling at both of the young boys. "bien!" both kids answered at the same time and laughed. "tienen hambre?" she asked making her way to the kitchen and looking in the fridge. "no mama, vamos a ir a comprar unos tacos con los castillos!" alejandro said receiving a confused face from alvaro. "who are the castillos?" alvaro asked ale, just getting a head shake back. "okay mijos, tienes dinero?" coco asked looking at both boys. "si no pa darles!" coco said making the boys laugh and shake their heads 'no'. "yo traigo dinero!" alvaro responded to the lady who was like her grandmother. "okay! entonces me traías uno de pastor!" mamá coco said laughing at the boys. "asi mero doña!" alvaro said making everyone laugh. the boys walked out the house turning at a block. "i'm hungry as hell!" alejandro said while they were walking down a block. 4 more blocks to go. they continued talking about how school was over in a couple days.

a little bell rang. the boys walked in to the restaurant hearing banda ms 'color de tus ojos' through the radio. alvaro spotted out how this place was so pleasing, mexican culture everywhere. alejandro heard whistles going along with the rhythm of the music coming from the back, samuel castillo. "hola alejandro!" the man said walking up to the boys. "hola don castillo! cómo está?" alejandro asked the man who ran the restaurant. "bien, ahorita viene yuli para que les tome la orden!" samuel said pointing at the table to sit at to the boys. "bro this place makes me wanna go to mexico," alvaro told alejandro, making both of them laugh. they sat down and were both on their phones until a girl with a white shirt and a apron with floral designs came up to them. "hey alejandro," the girl said. "hola yuliana," alejandro responded to the girl. the girl looked over to the boy across to him to catch him staring at her. "hola?" yuliana said to the boy. "oh right, hi," alvaro said soon becoming embarrassed. "okay, de que quieren los tacos?" yuli said smiling at both boys, getting her notepad ready to write down their order. "me das 2 pastor y 1 de lengua," alejandro said already knowing at the top of his head what he was craving. "how 'bout you pretty boy?" yuliana asked alvaro. "me das 2 pastor y 1 de asada," alvaro answered her with a slight blush on his face. "y de tomar?" she asked them once again. "una horchata mediana!" alejandro said eagerly. "un choco milk," alvaro replies to the girl smiling. "okay, ahorita vengo." yuliana said walking away to the back to go get the zanahorias & salsas.
"YESSENIA!" yuliana whisper yelled. "what do you want yuli? i'm trying to make the salsas," yessenia replied with a bit of attitude. "alejandro is here!" yuli said knowing that her friend definitely had a crush on him since he went every saturday or friday to get tacos for either him or his grandma. "here take him the zanahorias & salsas!!" yuli said grabbing yessenia from the chair. "ay! pinche yuliana, simpre quieres que haga esto cuando viene el," yessenia rolled her eyes at her bestfriend who was sitting in the chair she was once sitting in about to blend the salsa ingredients, yuliana just smiled back.
"aquí están," yessenia said putting down the zanahorias & salsas for the boys. "hey yessi!" alejandro said making the younger girl smile. "hi alejandro, hi alejandro's friend," she said to both of them. "it's alvaro, nice to meet you!" alvaro said trying not to laugh at the boy who totally had a crush on the girl who his bestfriend called 'yessi'. "nice to meet you too, where you from?" yessenia asked the kind boy. "irvine, just like ale," alvaro responded. irvine was only about 20 minutes away. at least they weren't from anaheim, all the rich kids were from there. they were in santa ana. "cool, we're from santa ana, aka here," yessi said laughing and smiling. "alright ima go back to work before tio samuel yells at me, bye guys," she smiled at both boys walking to the back. "you are so whipped!" alvaro whispered to alejandro. "shut up, i'm not," alejandro said with a slight blush on his face. "mhm whatever you say ale," alvaro said laughing at the boy and going back to scroll on instagram.
"eekkkkk!" yuli squealed as her cousin came back with a smile on her face. did i forget to mention? yuli and yessi are cousins, both in the same grade, yuli being older by a couple of months, yessi was turning 18 in 2 weeks, which meant big party for the castillo's. "go give them the drinks!" yessi told her cousin. yuli walked back to the seating place with two drinks in her hands. she set the drinks down and pulled two straws out of her apron. "ahorita traigo los tacos," she said walking back to where her dad was making the tacos. "aquí están yuli!" her dad told her, she grabbed the taco baskets and took them to the boys' table. "okay here, do you guys need anything else?" yuli asked them with a smile on her face.
"yeah, you're number," alvaro replied to her.
she was stunned, a flush of bright pink cane across her face. "yeah, here," she wrote it on one of the pieces of paper on her notepad where she takes the orders. "thanks," alvaro said taking the pice of paper and watched as the girl walked to the back, untying the knot on the neck of the apron she had on.
in different places they both laughed and blushed. "damn bro, you actually did that!" alejandro said with his drink in his hand about to walk out after they paid. "yeah, i did," alvaro said walking back to ale's grandma's house with a bag in his and his milkshake in the other. he did it, he got her number, he couldn't believe he had the guys for that.
