MINNEAPOLIS Luis Tamay used to run a restaurant at Lake Street s front door. Now, he serves his food from a trailer in an alley.
“Very delicious,” the Ecuadorian immigrant says as he closes a to-go lid on an order of Papi Pollo, a chicken and fries combo popular in his home country.
The trailer is small, with less room to work than in his old restaurant kitchen, but, “We have to make money,” Luis says. “We have to do something.”
