Millie Quevedo, Tijuana native woman who went viral after being a blind mule victim

Since Tijuana is in the border there are people who live here but must cross daily to the United States due to work, school, and family matters, and they are the ones who are often exposed to being victims of crimes without realizing it as "blind mules". This crime consists of hiding illegal substances or undocumented people in cars in order to take them across the border without the driver's knowledge. In case they are discovered by agents, these drivers are often the ones who end up being accused.

Besides burritos with several different stews, coffee and banana bread is also sold here. She said to a local media outlet that, as her business grows, she hopes to open an establishment in order to provide better customer service.
