From Jalisco to Chattanooga to Redding, Los Gordos taqueria's story
Taqueria Los Gordos’ two locations have been mainstays among Mexican restaurants in Redding going on 20 years. Their longevity stands out considering there’s plenty of choices for Mexican food, from fine dining to taco trucks. Both locations are family-run with similar menus. The original site on Churn Creek Road opened in 2005 and the second one started downtown not long afterward. Luis de la Torre, the 24-year-old son of his father, also named Luis de la Torre, tells the story of how their second spot came to be. His father opened the downtown eatery in 2006 on the advice of his brother, Alfredo, who already was operating the original Los Gordos in south Redding. As the story goes, Alfredo told his brother at the time that Redding would be a good place for another Mexican place. Opening downtown would be a leap of faith for the family, considering patriarch Luis de la Torre and his family would have to travel some 2,500 miles and leave a restaurant they already were running in Chattanooga, Tenn. “(Alfredo) just told us that business was going good over here.

Redding game lounge, inspired by father, son dream, opens | The Buzz
Anthony Spengler and his father, Joshua, had a dream of opening a themed restaurant and bar, where Joshua would be the chef and Anthony would operate the front of the house. "So my father was a chef for 20-plus years and we had this pipe dream for him to be my cook and I wanted to run the business," Spengler said. Joshua Spengler passed away in 2017. “I was trying to figure out what do with my life and I decided to pursue that dream that me and my dad had,” said Spengler, who eventually got a degree in business administration. Spengler recently opened Games and Brews in the Westside Village shopping center in south Redding. It’s at least the third game-themed business to open in Redding, joining Bonus Round and Hordes & Boards. Games and Brews, at 6446 Westside Road (Suite A), focuses on board and card games, including role-playing games like Dungeons & Dragons. It also hosts events like trivia and movie bingo night. Recently, it had a Star Trek trivia night hosted by Brain Battle Trivia. Spengler said the business opened on Sept. 5. He is waiting for his state Alcoholic Beverage Control license so he can
