De empleados en un restaurante de Old Town a dueños de Café Maggi: una historia de perseverancia en San Diego
- Argelia Ventura and David Granda met as teenage employees at El Fandango in Old Town San Diego and eventually married and opened their own restaurant, Café Maggi, in Barrio Logan.
- Their first venture, a small fruit stand near Mission College, barely made money, but they saved about $15,000 to open a larger restaurant, which now supports more than 40 jobs across two locations.
- The couple named the business after Argelia's mother, Maggie, who had dreamed of opening a restaurant but never got the chance.
- A second location opened in 2019, but the pandemic hit six months later, and Argelia says the hardest part was not knowing what came next.
