Alex Alas-Lorenzana

Owner of El Pilar Food Truck in Española, New Mexico

You can’t miss El Pilar, a bright orange food truck that’s permanently parked on N. Riverside Drive in Española. Roll down your car window, and you’ll get hit with the aromas of Mexican and New Mexican specialties served sizzling-hot from the large outdoor plancha. El Pilar owner Alex Alas-Lorenzana secured a $10,000 True Grit Loan from DreamSpring to strengthen his operations after the pandemic. As Alex has continued to serve the Española community, El Pilar has become a must-stop spot for delicious flavors at reasonable prices.
