In late 2021, Mexican American entrepreneur Roberto Pérez got a tip from friends about a street vendor in Vernon making some very good ceviches. Pérez, whose mother was born in Nayarit (a region known for some of Mexico's best seafood), was blown away by this man serving ceviches from an ice chest on the street. The vendor, Francisco Leal, turned out to be a native of Los Mochis, Sinaloa, known across Mexico as a destination for seafood in its own right, a place where chefs often train for years before getting to work in cold and hot bars (barra fría and barra caliente).
