What is it like to be part of the nation’s first women-led food hall in the heart of San Francisco’s Tenderloin neighborhood? KQED's Carlos Cabrera-Lomeli dropped in on Estrella Gonzalez and Maria del Carmen Flores, the women behind Estrellita's Snacks, to talk about family food traditions and their journey from street vending to opening their own brick-and-mortar in San Francisco. Estrella Gonzalez shares a simple and tasty recipe of one of her signature dishes: platanos fritos.
