Coachuila was the gateway to living The American Dream, a Restaurant that was established in the year 1988, when the eldest of a crowded family living in the small towns in Mexico took the first steps into American soil to work long hours in screeching heat to make enough money to build a Restaurant that would act as a “Home” here in America for his family to live the dream they believed was just a fantasy. “Coachuila'' was the new chapter in their lives, it initially is what brought the family closer. Coachuila was a restaurant in Perth Amboy, New Jersey; the community was built with immigrants with similar background stories, opening up restaurants from their culture and seeking the American dream. This gave my family the comfort of having a community to build a sense of family they used to have back in their homelands. This restaurant allowed my family to live a better life. Their fantasies back home in Mexico, their dream allowed them to build a community in this new country. “Coachuila” is the start of the American dream.
