About Paz En La Tormenta / Mission Statement
The owners of this quaint family-run restaurant are Ignacio (Nacho) and Melitza Jimenez. They are originally from Mexico City. The style of food they serve is traditional to Mexico City. They have four children: Steven, Brandon, Samara, and Stephanie. Steven and Brandon can usually be found helping at the restaurant waiting tables and Samara likes to help out once in a while. Stephanie was born with special needs, so she usually just comes in later to get some hugs from Mami and Papi. Nacho and Melitza believe that during some tough times they were having, God gave them this business to keep their minds off their problems and to remember that He is in control of things. They say God gave them paz en la tormenta or peace in the storm. "We told God that this is His restaurant," Melitza and Nacho say. "We're just really happy to be doing this."
