Latin food trucks rewrite recipe for survival: Bring in a singer, expand the menu Juan Carlos Chavez, Tampa Bay Times © Juan Carlos Chavez/Times Oliver Castellanos, owner of Sabor Mixto in Riverview, had to shut down his food truck for six months because of the pandemic. He adapted, he said, by reopening with an expanded menu and longer hours.

TAMPA Almost overnight, Cristhian Guzman saw his fortunes change.
The 28-year-old immigrant from Mexico had been trying for five years to get a loan so he, his wife Gloria and their two youngest children could move into their own home.
Guzman was brought to the United States illegally by his parents but became a legal resident under the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program. Still, even as a so-called “Dreamer,” he didn’t qualify for a loan through the Federal Housing Administration.
“It was disappointing,” Guzman said.
That changed Jan. 19, the day before President Joe Biden took office, when the FHA announced a change in policy extending eligibility to Dreamers who apply for home loans. Guzman and his wife were soon approved.
