Nayomie Mendoza

Nayomie Mendoza is the owner of Cuernavaca's Grill, a vibrant Mexican restaurant located in Los Angeles's Fashion District. She has experienced a dramatic decline in business due to recent immigration raids, which have instilled fear in the local community and resulted in an 80% drop in sales. Mendoza highlights the challenges faced by immigrant-owned businesses in the area, noting that the situation is arguably worse than during the pandemic, as the raids have led to a significant decrease in foot traffic and customer visits.
