Jorge's CafeRestaurant in Midland, TX

When George Veloz was 15, he showed his sweetheart a sketch of his dream restaurant complete with a fountain and windows. That moment may have slipped from Veloz's memory. But when his then-sweetheart and now-wife, Mitsy Veloz, were building the new Jorge's Tacos Garcia, she reminded him about the sketch. The Small Business Administration recognized the couple's business as the 1999 Amarillo minority tiny business of the year. The restaurant near East tenth Avenue on Ross Street, which has been open for two months, has presented new challenges for the couple.
