Neighborhood Kitchens Visits Cafe Azteca

By Margarita Martinez   |   Wednesday, September 19, 2012   0 comments.

This week our Neighborhood Kitchens team will take you to another historic mill town: Lawrence, MA. That is where we discovered Cafe Azteca. Lawrence has always been known as the “Immigrant City."  During the Industrial Revolution, an influx of people from all over the world came to work in its state-of-the-art mills.  Today, Lawrence has one of the highest proportions of immigrants in Massachusetts. It also has the largest Latino population of any New England city.

Nearly 40 percent of the businesses in Lawrence are Latino-owned – including Cafe Azteca, where Antonio and Mary Guerrero have been serving authentic Mexican cuisine for almost twenty years.
