In the 1960s, David and Olga Espinoza opened a general market named Espinoza’s Food Center to serve the growing Hispanic community in Pueblo Alto (now known as Hightown). Their vision was later expanded in the early 1970s to open Espo’s Mexican Food, now one of Chandler’s beloved community staples. Leon Espinoza, second-generation owner of Espo’s Mexican Food, will discuss his experiences carrying on his family’s legacy
