                       We are at a point that we are able to bring back our services to you starting Monday the day after X-Mas. Due to many unforeseen setbacks, our business being dormant for over 8 months and contractor expenses for work that was not completed during a very short and crucial time when we acquired the property to the present date has left us very close to our original starting point with less resources available to us.

 

            For the reasons stated above we will be doing business out of our taco truck in our outdoor lot at 2655 Middlefield Road, Redwood City. Look for our eagle logo under our acronym ‘A L K S’ on our custom hand crafted sign made of scorched wood and recycled Plexiglas. A talented local artist and his girlfriend have been kind enough to volunteer their time and resources to create our business sign, keep my spirits high during a most challenging time of restructure, and they have spent a great deal of energy helping organizing after two chaotic moves in only 8 months. We think you will enjoy the new look of our sign and taco truck serving area.  We do this so we can serve you again, and we hope to continue doing so for years to come.  

             
            Our taco truck will be open for lunch and dinner with selective catering available.  Hours of operation will start at 10am to 7pm.  We will have a special menu for now while we develop the means to bring back our entire menu.   The special menu will be posted on our truck until we stabilize our resources. 

 

            This business has been blessed with having an incredible crew serving our customers for the past 12 years.  Our crew has had to find jobs with other businesses during our down time.  We are doing our best to have the same crew return and serve you as we did at our old location. 

           
            We have a long road ahead of us and would like your continued support of our business and we thank you in advance for understanding the growing pains we will experience now and in the future.  Please let us know what we can do to better serve you.  We will do our best to accommodate your needs within our limitations. 

             Lastly we are having a garage sale to recover the much needed income lost over the past 8 months.  We will have a large variety of items for sale.  Come by to visit us and see if we have something you like for you or for someone you know. 

            Artists in our community feel free to speak with me about putting some items up for sale now or in the future.  Our lot is private and it is outdoors.  Let me know how we can work together.  The best times to contact me are early afternoons or late evening if you want to speak face to face.  An email will work better for me with your link to artwork you want to show.  Our email address is alks2655@gmail.com .  Please include a short list of details regarding space you will need and what your requests are in housing your work.  I will not have time to measure our lot, but you are welcome to come over and do research of our properties outdoor lot area.  I look forward to meeting those who are interested in this offer.

            Musicians in our community give me a little time to make plans with coordinating events while I find out the legal limitations this property has with day and evening events.  I would like a Latin or World Beat influence with any event we host.  Dj’s are welcome to inquire as well. Same rule applies as to the style of music.  We strive to be family restaurant we want to keep that tone of environment with the music that is played at all times.  We appreciate your attention to this one requirement we have.  Email me if you want to coordinate an event for the future.  Email is alks2655@gmail.com .        

 

We thank you for your continued support,

======================================================

(The Aguililla Restaurant has been awarded "best burrito" in Menlo Park. We are primarily a Mexican Restaurant, but also provide a Market and Catering Services.)

Hi,

I am Alejandro Rojas the founding member of Augie’s Latin Kitchen Services LLC.

  • Our name has changed to ~Augie's Latin Kitchen Services LLC.~
  • I am designing and assembling a mobile kitchen that will be serving this area. I'll post a picture of the truck below.
  • I can use help getting going again:
    • I am looking for someone in the trailer and rv repair and or design business. I have designs of my own and have spent many hours researching different possibilities in powering, drawing LP to equipment, housing LP tanks, and acquirering water management tanks.
    • I am looking to do business with venture capitalists / angel investors.
    • My contact info is: aguililla3250@yahoo.com or alks2655@gmail.com .
    • I have had some gracious offers from friends and acquaintences who wanted to help fund this businesses recovery. I politely turned them down.
    • I am looking for experienced investors.
    • Looking for a new home for Augie’s LLC.  Your suggestions are welcome and appreciated.
      • A turn key restaurant that has no tenant is the best case scenario
      • Please use the email addresses above to contact me about restaurants for lease. 

 

  • The landlord and previous owner of Aguililla are remodeling.
    • My crew and I are not a part of this.
  • A hostile take over of my business. Which also was my home above the restaurant, for fifteen years, occurred April 15th 2011. 
  • It should be known that before any of this happened I requested monies due. 
    • I believe the actions taken were retaliatory to my request
  • My lease expired only eleven months after the business was sold to me.
  • Escrow closed on the sale of Aguililla Market to me on the twelfth of December 2010.
    • That businesses lease expired the first of January 2011. 

 

I sincerely apologize that my restaurant closed. 

  • I did my best to negotiate a reasonable lease.
  • At the end of negotiations the best the landlord offered me was only a maximum, one year lease and doubling my rent
  • I believe if I signed that lease with the economy the way it is today I would be in the same situation today like I was on April 15th, 2011. 
  • It is my opinion that had I gone with that lease there would have been an iron clad lease stating they own my personal property, the businesses entity, and I would have no legal right to pursue a lawsuit against them for any previous business I had with them when I defaulted on the lease.
  • This was unacceptable to me.

 

  • I hope this helps answer questions that might come up about why we closed and when we are going to reopen.  

I hope to be able to serve you again in the near future and continue my father’s legacy in this area.  It would have been nice to enjoy the fruit of my labor at that property, but if that is not a possibility then on to the next one. 

Best,

Alejandro Rojas

Here is a picture of the mobile kitchen to be, introducing the diamond in the rough:

  • We are planning to have this truck located in the vicinity of our old building.

The sooner I am in a building the sooner I will be back to business as usual.   

 

 

 

What was most important over the past fifteen years was to be sure my mother was taken care of; with the given circumstance that my father was gone.  

They say a picture is a worth a thousand words…

Guess which one I am??    (-;

It is difficult to see why this happened to me when they have been doing it all my life.
