SYNOPSIS:
“In Dos Rios, Texas, things aren’t always as they seem.
Santiago might be in over his head this time. . .
Santiago’s grades are slipping again, but he’s determined to prove to his family that he can be successful at something, even if it’s not school. When a fancy new taco chain moves in across the street from the Garza family restaurant, Santiago is inspired– he’ll open a food business of his own.
Unfortunately, running a business is not as much fun as Santiago thought it would be. Fabi and Alexis keep interfering, customers aren’t easily won over, and even worse, El Payaso is back in Santiago’s life– and just waiting for him to mess up.”
