Elubia and Ruben decided on this menu because of Elubia’s months-long struggle to find out why she was getting sick after every meal. When they learned that she was allergic to wheat and gluten, they also learned that many people have the same food intolerance.

Our Story
It all started with a Guatemalan tamale… It all started with a Guatemalan tamale… Elubia is from Asuncion Mita Jutiapa, Guatemala, and she learned to cook as a young girl. After coming to the U.S. about 25 years ago, she began to sell food to family and friends in Santa Barbara. Ruben Orozco grew up and attended school in Santa Barbara. While attending USCB, he worked at his aunt’s restaurant in Isla Vista (Lupita’s Restaurant), and after graduating, he began to work at San Marcos High School as a computer administrator. One day, Ruben’s co-worker Clara mentioned that she had a friend who had just bought a computer and asked if he could help her. Before Ruben could answer, Clara added that her friend is very pretty. Ruben immediately said that he would be there the same day. The friend was Elubia.
