Some 20 years after leaving Tlaxcala, Mexico, and settling in the Berkshires, Cain Serrano has realized his dream of having his own restaurant, opening La Chalupa Y La Enchilada, a food truck, on March 1. Seven years ago, that was the dream I had, Serrano said. I was thinking about going back to Mexico to open a restaurant. We decided to stay and open something smaller. My wife, Nancy, and I were looking to work together and support our kids.
The food truck is named after his two daughters, Mia, who is 5 and is nicknamed La Chalupa and Nayline, 11, who is known as La Enchilada. Serrano explained he gave Mia her nickname two seconds after she was born.
