Downtown Tiendas

This is the main street of La Huacana.
Most businesses have their living quarters on top of their grocery stores. Garage doors roll up to allow customers in. Sometimes, when I walk into the store, the home is visible, just father back into the building on ground level.
Yesterday Mike and I had lunch together in a "restaurant". After inside, we could see that we were eating in someone's actual home. It was mostly out-of-doors and very spacious. The food is incredible.
There are numerous small businesses here. Most people make their income through selling food either in an outdoor eatery or in a grocery store. There are other small business as well, but food is the main enterprise. These are the true essence of "home business".
