The scent of the smoke upon the crisping meat is intoxicating taquero Francisco Salinas whisks the goat off the spit and sets it sideways upon his flattop grill Then he takes a butcher’s cleaver and begins hacking it down into chunks Hours of roasting tenderizes the meat so much that Salinas can pull the bones out with barely any effort the baby rib racks dismantling before our eyes as if by magic “It’s cooked all the way through,” Salinas said on a recent morning at his stand in Muscoy holding a morsel of meat practically falling off the bone Here in unincorporated San Bernardino County, Salinas is making cabrito al pastor in the style of his native Torreón, Coahuila, a metro region also known as La Laguna. It’s served as tacos in crispy flautas or as a savory bowl of consomé with garbanzos and a variety of salsas The kids he uses are from a local farm and unweaned meaning they consume only milk in their short lives of less than 45 days “That is why the meat tastes so different,” Salinas said compared to the better-known birria de chivo it is about as tender as taste buds could ever imagine Cabrito al pastor is an utterly unique bite El Lagunero sits under white tarps in the back lot of an auto shop on State Street part of a bubbling scene of taco and antojitos vendors that’s most active on weekends The street food row took shape during the pandemic shutdowns and has remained popular among local eaters or drivers passing through despite authorities’ efforts to crack down Food The drink from western Mexico involves fresh goat or cow milk Salinas and his partner El Lagunero found a safer spot behind a gate allowing Salinas to park his fire pit out in the open on weekend mornings Sometimes the pair surround the fire with bales of hay and a few decorative Mexican flags so folks can take pictures next to it as if it’s a tourist attraction “People love the cabrito because it’s consistent and they love appreciating that it’s cooking right in front of them,” Sanchez said The pair are not afraid of engaging happily with taco trends either: Salinas and Sanchez offer their delicacy as birria ramen or quesabirria if any guest is so inclined visitors sit with a steaming bowl of cabrito en consomé The flavor is intensely satisfying and needs almost no garnishing “This past weekend there was a family from Washington They came to California for some reason and put it on their plans to eat here,” Sanchez said Francisco Salinas and Vanessa Sanchez of El Lagunero in Muscoy (Dania Maxwell / Los Angeles Times) In addition to the cabrito El Lagunero offers another uncommon specialty: roast kid offal wrapped in chitterling membrane called machitos which the taquero also prepares on stakes: soft baby goat heart liver and kidney pieces roasted together into a symphony of organ-y textures and umami layers “This food was introduced by the criptojudíos [secret Jews], who brought it to what was Tamaulipas in reference to the historical migration of Sephardic Jews who were escaping the Spanish Inquisition to north-central colonial Mexico and they had these stakes to clean and cook the animals.” Many brought their culinary traditions with them, and cabrito al pastor is said to have evolved from there. The longtime market on Vermont Avenue has returned after a difficult year, but can its vendors find a way to survive? In Muscoy, as in other parts of the state, the pandemic shutdowns opened the floodgates of entrepreneurial energy on the streets of Southern California, as instant layoffs sparked by the emergency public health orders forced thousands out of work. Many risked their last bits of cash to try a home cooking business in tacos or mariscos. Since 2020, State Street has become its own magnet, as Avenue 26 had done in Lincoln Heights, or the Salvadoran Corridor decades ago. Technically, street vending and home kitchen businesses are legal in the state of California. But achieving licensed status is costly and time-consuming, and actually draws more scrutiny and enforcement than being entirely off the books, multiple vendors said. Health inspectors often patrol the street, issuing administrative citations or confiscating food; the presence of sheriff’s deputies gives folks the jitters. In response, vendors organize themselves online in group chats to alert one another if authorities are on their way, part of an ongoing tug-of-war over the public space. “It’s terrible what the county does to the people,” Salinas said. The office of Supervisor Joe Baca Jr., whose district oversees Muscoy, said in a statement that the county is seeking balance with neighbors’ needs and the vendors. “We have heard our residents’ concerns and understand that the main issues they have are related to traffic and trash not being cleaned up,” Baca’s statement said. “We are committed to working with street vendors to create a harmonious environment for everyone.” Several local vendors said in interviews that they feel under siege from authorities. But officials defended their actions. “The only time we seize food is when the health department deems the food unsafe,” said David Wert, public information officer for San Bernardino County. The COVID-19 pandemic slowed down this Los Angeles night market, but it’s rebounding. You’ll find tacos, pizza and more. Sanchez is a cheery presence at the stand, handling drinks, salsas, garnishes and takeaway orders with her meticulously organized supplies. She said people in the area will always want to have a delicious taco or bowl of soup off the street, just like back home, especially when it’s made with effort and care. That’s what makes Muscoy special, she said. “There will always be vendors here,” Sanchez said. “It’s a little piece of Mexico. In the climate, the culture, the food.” El Lagunero, 2598 N.

Print Almost every Sunday from the start of the year into the summer dozens of people gathered at a property on Duffy Street in San Bernardino County frequenting an unlicensed bar and a taco stand But the main attraction was gambling on roosters which federal authorities said were made to fight — sometimes to the death — in an arena while wearing sharp blades known as “gaffs” on their legs The last event at the property this past Sunday ended abruptly with the arrests of four Inland Empire residents who are now charged with involvement in an illicit animal fighting venture California While waiting to be sentenced for a crime across the country, authorities say, Gina Russell convinced a Los Angeles woman that she had psychic powers, helped defraud the woman’s father out of money and persuaded her to raise funds through sex work. Authorities are still searching for Cirilo Esquivel Alcantar, 56, of San Bernardino, who also is charged with involvement in the cockfights. Court records do not indicate whether any of those facing charges have retained attorneys. The FBI had been investigating the cockfighting enterprise since May 2023, C.J. Sanders, a special agent for the bureau, said in an affidavit filed in federal court. Sanders said two confidential sources infiltrated events during cockfighting “season,” which typically runs from January to August. Attendees would pay $20 to park at a lot less than a mile from the property and be shuttled to the home on Duffy Street, where they would pay another fee to enter the arena where the fights unfolded, according to Sanders. They were able to place bets on fights and participate in a raffles, with a set of gaffs offered as the prize. Among those arrested, authorities say Sanchez made the property available for the fights, collected entry fees and made announcements during events; Alcantar made a lot available for attendee parking; Uriostegui collected entry fees and served drinks at the bar; Angulo collected the entry fees from handlers entering their roosters; and Maldonado refereed the fights. One of the FBI’s confidential sources, who is unnamed in the affidavit, reported arriving at the property around 7:20 a.m. on a Sunday in May 2023. A video recording the source took captured a taco stand — with the sign “RICOS TACOS ESTILO RANCHO” above it — at the entrance to the arena and a bar inside where attendees could buy drinks, according to the affidavit. Handlers were charged $1,000 to enter four roosters in the fights. They brought the birds into a fighting ring surrounded by chairs with a hard-packed dirt floor enclosed by plywood, according to Sanders. It’s been nearly a dozen years since Jenni Rivera, an icon of regional Mexican music, perished in a plane crash in Mexico. The relatives who accompanied her on the journey to superstardom are now waging familial warfare. The confidential source reported hearing that the hosts at the property profited about $80,000 to $90,000 per month. A second confidential source placed a recorded call to a man who said he owns about 100 roosters, which he brought to California from Texas, according to the affidavit. Another person involved in the cockfights told that source that he and and another individual purchased their fighting roosters from Oklahoma and they were shipped to California by plane. The second confidential source reported he was told the cockfighting had started at the property in 2022. If those charged are convicted, each could face up to five years in prison. They are set to be arraigned on Sept. 3.

to quality-of-life issues affecting communities in the county Assembly Majority Leader Eloise Gómez Reyes and the County of San Bernardino announced that the California Transportation Commission has voted to approve funding for the Muscoy Area Safe Routes to School Pedestrian Improvements Project The funding will come from the state’s Active Transportation Program (ATP) Cycle 5 and will provide the project with a $1.88 million grant The grant will be matched with funding from the County of San Bernardino The approval of the funding for the project represents the culmination of several years’ worth of collaborative efforts to improve the area The project was first conceived at the “DREAM BIG IE” Youth Empowerment Summit hosted by Majority Leader Reyes in 2017 parents and students from Muscoy advocated for improved sidewalks and safer route infrastructure around the two elementary schools: Vermont Elementary and Muscoy Elementary A community partnership was formed at the summit to ensure that Muscoy’s children and their families could safely walk to and from school This promise led to the formation of the student-led group known as SOAR IE which created a diverse coalition known as the Sidewalks for Muscoy Coalition This coalition consisted of community members working together to improve the sidewalks and other infrastructure around the schools “The idea for this project came from high school students who used to walk to school in Muscoy and I am so proud that they have worked with us to make it a reality Our community deserves safer routes to school,” said Majority Leader Eloise Reyes I’ve seen how kids struggle to walk on our streets risking getting hurt because of a lack of sidewalks,” said former Vermont student Angela Loera “The County is proud to receive this grant and we are eager to get to work on these projects,” said San Bernardino County Board of Supervisors Chairman Curt Hagman “People deserve to feel safe when they walk through their neighborhoods We are thankful to be part of a collaborative effort.” The Sidewalks for Muscoy Coalition served as the initial wave of improvements for the Muscoy community The coalition rallied their community as they built sample crosswalks and curb extensions using funding from Southern California’s Association of Government’s (SCAG) Go Human Campaign This initial collaborative effort led by SOAR IE would in turn become the Muscoy Safe Area Routes To School Pedestrian Improvements Project which sought out and received a commitment from the County Public Works to make streets safer for residents to walk and bike By 2019 the coalition was hosting events such as the first “Walk to School Day” for National Clean Air Day to promote safe routes the San Bernardino County Public Works Department submitted the Muscoy Area Safe Routes to School Pedestrian Improvement Project for funding consideration for 2021 under the state’s Active Transportation Program The funding will allow the project to upgrade existing crosswalks to more visible ladder-style crosswalks; install pedestrian flashing beacons “When I went to the Youth Empowerment Summit the Assemblymember asked for legislative ideas We suggested protection for our siblings who attend elementary school in Muscoy and now we are excited to see the idea become a reality,” said SOAR IE member Guadalupe Tellez After unsuccessfully applying for a similar project in Cycle 4 of the Active Transportation Project the Department of Public Works improved the application this year by adding more safety improvements and agreeing to a collaboration with the Department of Public Health and local CBO Mental Health Systems to provide educational and encouragement programming The Safe Routes Partnership assisted the applicants with the application process The Active Transportation Program is heavily oversubscribed with fewer than 11% of applications funded in most cycles “Let Muscoy’s victory serve as a reminder of the urgent need to prioritize funding in environmental justice communities and rural communities of color across the Inland Empire and the state,” said Demi Espinoza from the Safe Routes Partnership added: “We’re incredibly proud of the agencies and most importantly community members who worked so hard to make this application stand out among the hundreds that were submitted It’s a testimony to the need for safe walking infrastructure in Muscoy and the community’s unity behind achieving it.” the Muscoy Area Safe Routes to School Pedestrian Improvements Project represents what can be achieved through collaboration “If we want to improve the quality of life in a particular community we cannot pretend to know what’s best The only way to do it is to bring the community together and ask “What do you need How can we help?” And only then can we work together toward a goal of making life easier and better for the community it was the students and then the parents who voiced the dream for Muscoy And they helped make it come true,” said Majority Leader Eloise Reyes ‘Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful it is the only thing that ever has.’ This quote defines Muscoy a community of leaders that refuses to give up engaged in collaborative dialogue to create a vision of a better future that includes safer conditions for youth en route to school Mental Health
