Prieto’s Catering, LLC is an Aurora-based food truck selling authentic and delicious Mexican food. Prieto’s serves a variety of tacos, including the famous birria tacos that everyone is excited about! They also serve other popular Mexican dishes made fresh, such as tamales, tortas and burritos.
As a family business start-up, Prieto’s provided catering services in 2017 with sales of just $3,000 in the first year. In 2019, owner
Erika Rojas bought a food truck and realized an immediate jump in sales. Working with one full-time employee and two part-time employees, Erika was determined to work hard, find new customers, increase sales and hire at least two more employees. She reflects on her experience with the SBDC:
“I have been taking SBDC classes and consulting with an Aurora-South Metro SBDC business consultant. From the beginning, I have felt supported with resources to resolve my doubts and learn how to manage the business, as well as how to promote my business. The most valuable service of the SBDC, above all, is the support of not feeling alone.” With a lot of effort and loyal customers, Erika realistically projects an increase in sales of 350% by the end of 2021. She is going full steam ahead!
