La Tortuga Feliz

Elia & Alejandro Gavilan opened the original La Tortuga Feliz in Mexico. When they decided to come to the United States they wanted to share their love of cooking and began selling their delicious authentic mexican food at many festivals in the Humboldt Park neighborhoods. That became an instant success and they opened up their first restaurant business, “Taqueria Gavilan” on 26th & Austin in Berwyn, IL.
