The daily duties start early in the morning.
Workers cut up vegetables, check the register, and prepare a few items before the lunch rush comes in.
Mexican Nationals Mari Trevino and Alejandra Aldrete said getting their restaurants started was a difficult task.
“Maybe it was because it was the first time I started a business," said Trevino.
"The second time around I’ll know how to manage everything.”
Alcohol permits, fire inspections, and food inspections are just some of the things you do not have to worry about in Mexico but they are a major factor in opening a business in the U.S.
“Really, over there, you’re just going and paying for the permits you just get them.," said Trevino.
"That’s good that it works like that here.... I mean we’re all safe the employees and customers.”
Both business women said they came to the U.S way before the violence started in Mexico.
They said their restaurants could help spur an already struggling economy by creating new jobs in the Valley.
“The people that have been working with us have been unemployed for three months," said Aldrete.
"When we came in we gave them the opportunity to work with us.
They’ve been trying to get a job for so long but there is no work.”
But now there is and Trevino and Aldrete hope to be just as successful here as they are south of the border.
