Help Pablo rebuild his food business.

Hello, I'm Pablo Vazquez, the proud owner of TJ's Street Tacos, and I’m thrilled to share that we’re celebrating our one-year anniversary at Captain Blacks this December 2024. It has been an incredible journey serving our loyal customers and welcoming new ones along the way.
My dream began in July 2023, when I signed my first rental agreement, hoping to establish a permanent presence in Capitol Hill. Unfortunately, challenges arose, and I had to part ways with that company in December 2023 after being shut down. With the support of a viral response to my social media videos, I created a GoFundMe page to help rebuild and keep my dream alive.
TJ's Street Tacos is all about authenticity. We specialize in Tijuana-style tacos, sourcing most of our ingredients directly from Tijuana, B.C., and using cherished family recipes. Everything is prepared fresh to order, with never-frozen meats and vegetables picked fresh daily. Since then, we’ve continued operating out of Captain Blacks, grateful for the ongoing support from the community.
Looking ahead to 2025, I’m excited to take TJ's Street Tacos to the next level by expanding into a brick-and-mortar location and creating a Tijuana-style taqueria. While the idea of a food truck was once a priority, I’ve realized that a permanent restaurant is the best way to meet demand and grow sustainably. A $25,000 investment will help me secure a business loan to acquire a location and bring this vision to life.
My goal remains the same: to continue serving the Capitol Hill neighborhood and expand into nearby areas, delivering the taste of authentic Tijuana street tacos. Thank you for your continued support, and I look forward to sharing this next chapter with all of you.
