About this episode

After a brief hiatus, Locales Only is back! This week we are going for a drive with Angela & Mariam El Haj — sisters who went from being first-generation American immigrants to owning Anaheim’s Calaca Mamas Cantina.

Big thanks to Fletcher-Jones Motorcar of Newport Beach for sponsoring the show and building out the all-electric Mercedes-Benz EQE as our rolling podcast studio!
