Angel and his father always dreamed of having a restaurant and opportunity knocked when the perfect building opened up in the Ironbound section of Newark. They designed and built the restaurant by hand, from laying the floors and building the benches to mounting the wall tiles. The restaurant, Casa d’Paco, quickly became a city favorite, serving colorful Spanish tapas cooked by Angel’s father and desserts made by his mother and managed by Angel himself—a true family endeavor.
