Top 5 Mexican Restaurants in SoCal

According to History.com, Cinco de Mayo—or the fifth of May—is a holiday commemorating the date of the Mexican army’s 1862 victory over France at the Battle of Puebla during the Franco-Mexican War (1861-1867). A relatively minor holiday in Mexico, in the United States Cinco de Mayo has evolved into a celebration of Mexican culture and heritage, particularly in areas with large Mexican-American populations.

In honor of this holiday, I am sharing my TOP 5 favorite Mexican restaurants in the South Bay.

Fruits of your Labor!

I met Darryl and Shani last October at an open house. A few weeks after, they interviewed me and several other agents. They decided to move forward with me as their Realtor and we began viewing homes immediately. After seeing just 5 homes, we found exactly what they wanted! An updated, two-story home on a culdesac. We even got the sellers to complete the termite repairs and assist in credit towards future renovations. They were amazing team players & above all, I'm grateful that they trusted me with one of the greatest financial decisions of their lives. Welcome home, Ryan's! I hope you enjoy the fruits of your labor.

Alma, you didn't know me- but trusted the referral of my business to help you buy your first home in California and help you sell your home in Georgia. I couldn't be more thrilled for you in this investment. I've gained a greater respect for mothers of children with special needs. Wolfgang is blessed to have a mother as heroic as you! Here's to your new chapter as a homeowner in Los Angeles and know that I'm here whenever you need me.

Home is truly where the heart is.

Time Crunch

I met Michael in late November when leaving my open house in Torrance. Michael was on a time crunch as he was moving his family from Georgia to the South Bay. Although he did not know me, Michael instilled his trust in me that day when I told him I would help him. Exactly 28 days later, I found him what he wanted- a renovated home with a large lot. Despite being a complete stranger, Michael trusted me and for that, I'm forever grateful.

Congratulations to the Coleman family...welcome home!

Against all odds.

Last year, Shawn got in a snowboarding accident that left him with extensive injuries and out of work for 75% of the year- making it difficult to qualify for a loan. Before almost giving up, he got qualified! On his behalf, I wrote a letter to the sellers of a home he liked, which touched their hearts and not only did they accept us, they completed all of our repair requests and even gave credit towards future remodels! In just 30 days, my brother received the keys to his 3 bed, 3 bath home! So proud of you for doing this on your own. Thank you for trusting your little sister on the purchase of your home. Guess I'm not so bad after all.

 

Congratulations, Maysam!

About a month ago, my cousin said he wanted an investment. We saw a few properties, but nothing stood out. One afternoon, a colleague and I were the only ones working in the office on a Saturday when she told me she had a new listing. Maysam and I went the next day, wrote an offer and after a week of negotiating -our offer was accepted. Congrats to my cousin, Maysam, on getting an amazing deal on one of many future investments. As faith has it, we were in the right place at the right time. So happy for you!
