Hear From Our Team Members…

Luis

Luis started working as a Dishwasher in 1973 to pay for college. While attending college, he went through personal struggles and he recalls how grateful he was for the support of the Cortez family. Luis continues to work at Mi Tierra because he enjoys his job and loves being a part of the Familia. His advice is to “Do the best you can in life and always be a good person to everyone you meet.”

Her charm and strong customer service skills were recognized by Jorge Cortez and he offered her the chance to become a Food Server.
