Anabel MunozOne of Olvera Street 's oldest tenants is a donkey stand known as "El Burrito y La Carreta," which is now facing eviction.If Olvera Street could talk, it would tell generations of stories about the dancers, the patrons and the merchants who've made it come alive. One of its oldest tenants is a donkey stand known as "El Burrito y La Carreta" founded by Jesus "Don Chuy" and Trancito "Tancho" Hernandez in the late 1960s.
At issue is that Hernandez's name is not on the contract. Hernandez said that in 2019, his mother submitted paperwork to do so, but the previous manager told him he had to be on probation for a year without providing specific reasons. He added that his mother did follow up two years later.Hernandez's brother said he reached out by email in October.
"This year, we had four months of rain, and they all fell on the weekends. And those are my best days," he said.
