* AngryBlackMan: Female example. Yessika points this out in "Protest Tacos", saying that most of [[spoiler:the Morales' treatment of her protest at Mama Fina's earlier that day make it somewhat clear that they see her as an angry black girl.]]

The series takes place in Boyle Heights, Los Angeles, where three Mexican-American cousins - Erik (J.J. Soria), Ana (Karrie Martin), and Chris (Carlos Santos) - try to keep the [[FamilyBusiness family's taco shop]], Mama Fina's, owned and operated by their beloved immigrant grandfather Casimiro "Pop" Morales (Joaquín Cosio), from going under in their rapidly gentrifying neighbourhood. All three cousins also struggle with their own problems and dreams -- Erik must mature rapidly as his ambitious on-off girlfriend Lidia (Annie Gonzalez) is pregnant with their child; Ana tries to make her way in the world as an artist alongside her longtime girlfriend, activist Yessika (Julissa Calderon); while Chris wants to make it as a professional chef, but struggles with not fitting in his family and community. The series boasts an all-Latino cast and explores three generations of a Mexican-American family, their struggles, and Latin American culture in the context of displacement and gentrification.

* TokenMinority: Yessika is the only black Dominican-American character in a predominantly mestizo Mexican-American cast.

* LatinoIsBrown: Most of the characters run a long gamut, from vaguely olive-toned skin like Chris and Pop, tan like Ana, and Afro-Latino like Yessika.

** Implied with the bank employee who racially profiles Erik and Ana, accusing them of stealing the credit card that Chris lent them earlier. His name is Mateo, implying Hispanic heritage.

** Chris calls Roberto (their landlord) a [[OutsideInsideSlur "coconut"]] and a [[OutsideInsideSlur "potato"]] when he comes into the shop reminding Pops that he's behind on his rent. When he's entering the taqueria he's seen with his two wealthy white and Asian investors discussing the possibility of changing Boyle Heights' landscape.

* BoomerangBigot: Chris calls Roberto (their landlord) a [[OutsideInsideSlur "coconut"]] and a [[OutsideInsideSlur "potato"]] when he comes into the shop reminding Pops that he's behind on his rent. This can be justified, as when he's entering the taqueria he's seen with his two wealthy white and Asian investors discussing the possibility of changing Boyle Heights' landscape.
** There's also the bank employee who's name is Mateo, indicating that he's Latino, yet he proceeds to racially profile Erik and Ana, accusing them of stealing the credit card that Chris lent them earlier.

* DisappearedDad: Chris's father, ''El Cucuy'' disapproves from Idaho and is never seen, while Erik's and Ana's fathers are not in the picture. WordOfGod states that Erik's father is in jail, and Ana's father is dead.

* WhiteGuilt: Exploited by Erik, who decides that the best way to attract customers (the gentrifiers) is to advertise the food tour by appealing to their white guilt. That is, by making them believe that by spending their money at the taco shop, it will make them look more "cultured" and noble for helping a poor, underprivileged brown family.

* DisappearedDad: Chris's father, ''El Cucuy'' disapproves from Idaho and is never seen, while Erik's and Ana's fathers are not in the picture.

* BoomerangBigot: The Latino Chris is seen like this by Yessika and Erik, due to acting "white" and being (at least initially) somewhat disconnected from the reality of Mama Fina's tradition and survival. [[spoiler:This is probably because his father moved his family to the more Caucasian-populated Idaho and kept the household English speaking to keep them "away from the ghetto".]]

* BigEater: The very thin and leggy Ana is almost always eating, and is alright with being paid in leftovers. Her shapely girlfriend Yessika also can be won over with Valentines themed tacos.
