She describes her family as \u201can immigrant family that works very hard.\u201d Her father always had a dream of opening up his own bakery and pupuseria.<\/span><\/p>\n That dream became reality about five years ago. Lily became part of her father\u2019s team and \u201cLa Espiguita Bakery\u201d was reopened on Road 159. The bakery included a restaurant area where pupusas quickly became their specialty. Over time, they saw that the Pupuseria was something that made this town special. Lily describes Ivanhoe as a very pleasant and tranquil town, where the people are very kind and generous. For that reason, she decided to close the bakery (where they had been leasing), move and open her own pupusa and Mexican food restaurant in Ivanhoe.<\/span><\/p>\n When asked what she would like to see in our community she replied with, \u201cI would like to see more support for the community in my town of Ivanhoe. We need a park where teenagers can have fun, a place to relax and shop in businesses like Lily’s Pupuseria, and enjoy the outdoors while eating delicious tacos or pupusas.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n Lily plans to improve every day with the business, always treat the customer with respect, and continue to thrive so that the customer feels satisfied with their purchase.<\/span><\/p>\n The people who have inspired and motivated Lily include her family. She is grateful for her father who taught her to always be honest and work hard. She also is grateful for her husband who has supported her through her journey of opening her own restaurant and helping raise their daughters so that they have a better future.<\/span><\/p>\n Lily shares, \u201cWe must always work with joy and move forward with respect and honesty. I am very grateful for all the people who support our small business. To all my hardworking people in the fields, thank you very much. May God bless you always.\u201d<\/span><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Father\u2019s dream becomes reality with his daughter\u2019s help Lily Molina opens Lily\u2019s Pupuseria and Mexican Food on Ave 328 carrying on her father\u2019s tradition of serving Salvadorian food to the community By Esmeralda Garcia, The Ivanhoe Sol Lily\u2019s Pupuseria located at 15921 Ave 328 in Ivanhoe, Calif., the former location of \u201cMi Ranchito Restaurant,\u201d specializes […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":3948,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3485","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"yoast_head":"\n
