Marcela Bojorquez, owner of Catrina’s Mexican Grill in Wasco, received a $5,000 Restaurant’s Care grant to help upgrade her airconditioning units and point-of-sale system.
- Bojorquez said while she didn’t expect to receive the grant funding, it’s a welcome addition to help fund her projects. The two projects she’s focused on immediately are upgrading her point-of-sale system and website to accept online orders, and the air conditioning unit in the building to provide a better experience for her customers and employees.
- She said as she prepares to celebrate 10 years of owning her restaurant, she increasingly feels as if the customers who come in are her family, watching them grow over time.
