PALM DESERT, Calif. (KESQ) — Eduardo Brambila, born and raised in Guadalajara, Jalisco, came to the Coachella Valley to support his family. Throughout the years, he managed to become the owner of his own restaurant, Flor de Jalisco.
His passion for cooking goes back to one of the many jobs he had upon arriving to the United States. At just 15 years old, he learned the value of hard work, his first job was working in agriculture.
“When I came here, I started to work in the fields. After that, I went into construction, I was inspired to find a better place for my family and I,” said Brambila.
Honoring his mother, as well as a desire to better himself and become an inspiration for migrants, led him into opening his own restaurant, which opened back in 2016.
“The name of the restaurant is an honor to my mother, she passed away in 2000 due to heart problems. She always told me to work hard, so this is an honor to her,” said Brambila.
Brambila says he’s grateful for his employees and being able to work in the United States, where he’s able to get more opportunities to do what he loves.
His dreams continue and he hopes to start new projects very soon.
