Son's TikTok saves Salt Lake City Mexican restaurant 

Truth

Nah, it stresses me out when I drive by a mini-mall filled with very unattractive businesses that I’d never want to try. Like I always wonder how long they can stay open and how busy do they ever get?

Lots of times those businesses are failing because the owner ISNT dedicating their life to it.

😢

Because there are limited things that we can do for these business. As much as you want to help, the best you can do is either buy their products and promote it.

Well said

& the food looks delicious!

@@kimkoh3094 true! if i lived near this restaurant i would definitely be a frequent customer

seriously!

For getting pity, it’s kinda pathetic.

Im WITH you!

Social media is at its core a beautiful thing and really just an extension of older facets of internet society; the real plague is the modern industry of influencers and full-time social media personalities.

Facts I usually hate Tik tok

What are your “multitude of reasons?”

@@importedtv that doesn't matter with the point of his comment

@@jamesjustin9181 who

Yes but customers will not put up with menu item shortages or delays in getting the food. Hopefully he had plenty of food on hand that day A rush of customers can be a curse. It's better to have consistent business than just huge days. Most people nowadays will not be patient with staff or food shortages. Even if they do it'll be a small amount of patience. Keeping people interested would be a better way. Having them keep you in mind anytime they are hungry will be better. Not just going to fast food etc.

Beautiful 🤩

He really is a great guy. I’ve known him for about 6 years now. And he’s not brainwashed like the “Morons” so he deserves to do well. Plus his food is AMAZING!!

And he raised a great son.

A restaurant needs customers. People keep saying the food is amazing but they aren’t getting enough business to continue to stay open long term. The math isn’t mathing.

@@louskunt9798 What exactly do you mean by brainwashed in this context? Seems a bit random.

Yea i cried watching this his dad look so excited to being heart broken🥺 but this is when i thank for having social media like tiktok and other platforms

You’re not alone, whenever I think about like- Kids that invite their whole class/friend group to their birthday party and decorate their whole house, get a bounce house or something, and get all excited for their birthday party, and then no one shows up? I literally send myself into a depression every time.

It's a strange, tormenting emotion. I feel you

empathy is so powerful

same

If you manage it carefully might save you too. It's like putting cloth on the sword.

@@noobythings Well sometimes the sheer number of people flocking over is a problem itself. Many restaurants on Kitchen Nightmares couldn’t cope with the new wave of publicity the show brought. There’s been people waiting for hours just to find a seat and most small businesses can’t handle that. If people weren’t super impressed by the food and the hype died down, the restaurant could go back to being dead like always rather quickly.

That's right, howany people got sick?

Social media is fake

Isn't everything?

i couldn't even imagine a kid embarrassed to help pay their family bills. i'd be way more embarrassed on free lunch at school

Why would he be embarrassed tho? It's in their culture too lol

@@Term-limits what culture, human? Lol.

@@xxmeanyheadxx immigrant culture

@@MarksTournaments right because natural born citizens should not help their family, gotcha 😆

💯agree

@@therealesstteverm1234 you agree? It has absolutely nothing to do with their race.

@@ar-sithf.austin3744 common sense left your body. Buddy.

@@anticlickbait pretty sure you don't understand what "common sense" means

@@ar-sithf.austin3744 I’m sure this is common in all races. I’m also Mexican and I agree our culture is still heavily steeped in toxic masculinity or “machismo”

Please share your Instagram!!

Janea yeah

Please keep making reels. Instagram algorithim will recommend it on people even on facebook

@@firstnamelastname6148 that’s awesome… I didn’t know that and we sure will 😉

Cringy af

@@ktc3733 nah its not but you ah

Cool.

@@ktc3733 how tf that cringy

@@tornligament1147 look at this dudes other comments, he has the IQ of a cabbage under a fridge

Extremely well said. Not sure why, but your comment brought tears to my eyes. You are right, this is definitely the real deal American dream and most definitely a son to be extremely proud of!

You can do the same elsewhere in the world for 1/4 of the cost 😂

@@divisionbyzer0474 where? Name a country where someone can start with absolutely nothing and become successful for 1/4 the cost. Name 5 countries where you can do that

I hope he loses everything and gets deported. I find it disrespectful that he’s speaking Spanish in the interview.

@@Anonymous-lq2bs you are obviously a lonely troll looking for attention any way you can get it. I feel sorry for you. Your life must be really lame and lonely. Maybe I am wrong. Maybe you are not a troll, but simply a jealous racist who doesn't realize that they were speaking Spanish in that area long before white men came and stole it. Also, why do wish he is deported and loses everything? He is a legal citizen and has every right to be here and to be successful. Just because you are unable to be successful and don't habe anyone to support you doesn't give you the right to wish bad things on people. Some call it Karma,some call it the circle of life, some call it other things; regardless, your time will come and some of those negative things you wish on others will eventually happen to you

Why can't he speK English in Utah

@@galvanizedgnome believe it or not, my guy, english is not an easy language to learn. many people who don't speak it don't have the time or resources to learn the language. but i'm assuming this guy, like most, knows at least a few basic phrases.

Agree

Okay let’s all take it down a notch, you’re gonna hurt yourself virtue signaling that hard

@@user59371 Authentic from a place of love. The internet is not a platform I use to pour out fake sentiments to make myself feel validated. You see , Sir, in my "situation", the opinions of others do not compel me to comment. A story of a son who demonstrates love for his father evoked emotions from his community and abroad. Aspiration, ingenuity and devotion were given to my heart by this family. It is disheartening you feel it is something so empty and cold. Enjoy your day.

Yeah my step dad went bankrupt in 2008

Wonderful son great outcome.

Respect to all those who businesses is still up and strong

Same here! My Dad’s business was hit hard in 2008 but recovered. This video made me so happy!

Right? I'm in CA so I'm spoiled, but those plates would pass here with flying colors. Looks fantastic!

BS talk is cheap. They need to go back to Mexico

Lies again? Ramenten Rakuten Rotisserie

It still ruined our society.

I did ruin it

Some people like Carlos knows how to use social media 💯👀

social media is just a tool

1 example out of billions of videos doesnt grant much hope for humanity lol

Wow. When you put it that way.... chills. I love that

Exactly, fellow Seabee!!!

❤️👍🏽👍🏽

Yes, I see it in my children. If people would just take care of there families over themselves. This world would be such an amazing place to live. Same with a company or corporation, if they would just take care of the employee and acknowledge the human condition. One day you may deal with an employee down on his luck that may cause a disruption in productivity however, because you helped that other employee 2 months ago when he was down on his luck, he will most likely be happy to do his best to make up for that difference and work longer days that week. Yet, these days you see the corporate empires expecting people to run around as though they’re robots and humanity is completely taken out of the equation. Its absolutely disgusting how companies, corporations, and parents have treated one another. There is just no love anymore. Its all about money. Sad, sad, world we live in today. Its sad that the family unit is the minority. Its sad that families don’t love one another like this anymore.

Exactly

You know that you did all that you could. I'm sure that he appreciated thst.

@@sadjaxx Thank you for saying that! I never told him about all the people I tried to send to him for business but I know he had quite a few use him. I even convinced his vendors to drop his prices dramatically when I moved and worked for a similar company in another district. One of them crushed me because he honestly didn't believe he was my father. He said my dad told him he only had 3 kids, referring to my siblings by name even. I thought he was joking but he was as serious as a heart attack. So I don't know if my dad appreciated any of my efforts, or my existence even, but that has never changed how much I loved him. Your comment made me smile, thanks

You guys will make it through and look back grateful for all that had happen.. Just keep on keeping on, you'll never know you're few steps to breakthrough

You tried though that’s what matters

Haha sucker

take your friends!

Same 😭

i really like the newscaster in red, she is genuinely enthusiastic about their success, the other two a little less so.

Me too. I'm a grown man and works in construction. It hurt me seeing that man so down and out.

Why did it take a news story to make you try it? You've always wanted to try but haven't. No wonder the guy has no customers if everyone thinks like you.

Not a baby! Teenagers are powerful people on their way to adulthood!

Yup amazing guy. Just goes to show never judge by age!

@@Nonyah123 so that doesn’t mean they are not still baby’s

@@briannahayes1822 Definitely not babies.. maybe young and immature but not helpless useless babies

@@TheRat900 i give food to homeless, don’t give cash. They are most likely to use it for drugs

@@TheRat900 I do. 👍

@@hemingwaytrout6592 is your ace score also 0?

and/or marketing

Lol he could do that without over $40k in debt. Degrees teach you how to work for other people… ask the millions of us Americans drowning in debt from undergrad😂

@@WilliamsPinch Drowning in debt because the field of study you went into and also not doing first two years at a community college, not because college is a scam.

I understand what you are saying but. Talking about going on a marketing college just becouse he had an idea on posting a tik tok is a bit of a stretch

Making a “poor me” tiktok and getting business doesn’t make you successful at marketing or advertisement. I’m done with people thinking making tiktok takes any skill because it doesn’t…

just a matter of time before there is something else young people are using and leaving the adults behind with tictok, and the other social media apps that were the rage with young folks.

Thats depressing, hope you and your family are doing better now

@@blacksoldier430 one day at a time. There is definitely less stress but we still miss it. My family has been in the restaurant industry since the early 1950's. My grandpa opened our first restaurant a few years after he got back from World War 2. If the economy gets better I would consider opening another small restaurant in Albuquerque.🤷🏼‍♂️

@@richardcasados do it my friend, when you do, contact me, I’ll see if I can get my American friends to try

That’s rough I’m sorry to hear that.

Try a small food truck or stand, like many small restaurants in California and in Mexico too.

What kind of white girl doesnt like mexican food

small / local businesses are the only thing I support. They always have way better food, and nicer people lol.. Forget all these big name corporations

@@Zqud yes me too! I wish more Poole would think like this:(

many franchises are small/family-owned and many small/family owned businesses engage in crime anyway when you get through pretending to want to eat there and are ready to stop glomming on the storyline, why don't you try doordash and see if they'll deliver to you

yea you described it perfectly! A supportive family is all you need

Avoid pride. Be glad

@@giovanni545 No, you can definitely be proud of your own achievements or your family members.

@@TheRat900 people try to throw stones every chance they get.

@@TheRat900 no its his son helping out his dad. Putting it out on tik tok doesn’t guarantee you anything. If it didn’t work out, he probably would have tried something else.

Truly so!

Pride isnt enough..make tik toks and get lucky

Nice copy paste comment.

@CHITUS💖 Ignore them 🙄

Awesome! Wishing you’re family business MUCH SUCCESS!

What movies??

Cool what movies and what’s the name of the restaurant

Tell us where and what her place is please!

Help your mom out too by stating the restaurant, she may get some more customers in coming days.

@@browncatwithblurredbackgro2461 Nope thats worst than white supremacy. You're the problem my guy

Only if tik tok saved them like this lucky one

this is only temporary, Capitalism cant last forever, soon we will replace all of these family businesses replaced into star bucks and mc donalds. Too big to fail government backed billion dollar restaurants. We cant afford to have people wasting OUR resources to pursue their dreams of running businesses, we need to nationalize all private sector businesses, then all the food will be free, no one will starve or be turned away by greedy business owners, everything will be like the dmv, public, free, and non discriminatory.

@@pluto8404 Bradley's, Caldor, Kmart, Sears, All big businesses that failed and that's just retail. Remember a lot of big businesses started from one small mom and pop location.

@@TheRat900 Give your money to the services that help the homeless, there are some great ones out there. It will help the homeless much more than giving them a couple of dollars.

It made me cry 😭 🙏

Wau! How was it!? In case I'm ever in the vecinity! But def it's great to Support small family owned business!👍💕

I don't see anything wrong with it. People are getting sicker than usual in a pandemic(big surprise, I know), so prioritizing healthcare workers is something that has LITERALLY saved millions, if not billions. Yes, it's not a perfect system;yes, it can easily be twisted as something dehumanizing, but I think it benefits more people than it has harmed.

@@talphazero1036 so explain why doctors and nurses that worked during the height and very unknown stage of the pandemic got quickly fired when they spoke out? I was considered essential and often had to walk into hospitals during the pandemic. I had to deal with people from all walks of life all the time. The lockdown was not the right decision for all areas of the country. My livelihood doesn't matter more than others. On top of everything suicide rates increased during the pandemic. So many kids ended themselves too. And you really think it was the best decision? All the lives ruined when it wasn't necessary is baffling.

These lockdowns caused a rise in suicides and mental health. All this bs for a virus that has treatments that work. Must be a Biden supporter.

@Sigrid Kaag you don’t have the first clue about running a restaurant Sigrid, sit down 🪑

@@anahernandez4043 he’s living in propaganda land, where the bigger the lie the better. Its for depopulation and lockdowns to control citizens freedoms and money.
