Orlando shares stories from his time on city council, the projects and causes he pushed for, and why giving back to Salinas has always been important to him. We also talk about his work as a hospice liaison and the emotional side of helping families during some of the hardest moments of their lives.

Of course, we also dive into food trucks, the growth of What’s Grubbing Salinas, what goes into organizing massive local events like Taco Fest, and his torta business — including a very important debate about what makes the perfect torta.

Politics, community, tacos, tortas, and real conversations about helping people… this episode somehow has all of it.

In this special Mother’s Day episode, Ana Belén and Andreya step in and run the show, giving their unfiltered take on motherhood—the real version, not the one you see in highlight reels. They break down what they thought being a mom would look like versus what it actually turned into (hint: way more chaos, way less sleep).

From the everyday struggles and mental load to the moments that somehow make it all worth it, they keep it honest, relatable, and even a little funny. It’s a conversation about expectations vs. reality, the challenges no one really prepares you for, and the kind of love that changes everything.

We sat back, stayed quiet (for once), and let them tell it how it really is.

Whether you’re a mom, married to one, or just trying to understand what they go through while we think we’re “helping”… this one’s for you.
