They noticed that, unlike barber shops, many local restaurants remained open — offering drive-through service and limited outdoor seating. Food trucks were becoming popular too.

Ibarra said they'd talked about opening a food truck before, but the idea never got off the ground. 

A month later, Quesomidilla was born — and became an instant success.
