The restaurant was founded in 1968 by namesake Carolina Valenzuela, who still presides over the kitchen.It was first at 105 W. Hilton Ave. and later at 1519 E. Mohave St. Since 1986, it has been at 1202 E. Mohave in a building that also has housed a coin-operated laundry and a grocery store.
The character of the neighborhood is etched on the building's cinder-block facade.The restaurant's skin has been pockmarked by bullets and its windows and doors outfitted with heavy metal security bars.
It's around noon when we arrive, and a small lot at the side of the restaurant is already full. We join other vehicles on the street, where my friend's rented Cadillac seems out of place among the Mercedes-Benzes and BMW's.
