You probably know him as Machete, or the uncle in Spy Kids, or that guy who gets his head stuck onto a tortoise in Breaking Bad—but it’s tacos that taught this actor turned entrepreneur some of his most important life lessons.
The way I grew up was bobbing and weaving and dodging bullets. But I’ve always eaten tacos. They’re the food of champions.
In my early 20s, I got locked up in the San Quentin penitentiary. And there was this guy. I’ll never forget him. If you look up “gangster cholo” in the dictionary, you’ll see his picture. He’d always come by saying, “I got burritos! I got tacos!” Whatever’s in the prison kitchen is what you’re gonna get: ground beef, or if they have hot dogs, a weenie wrapped in a tortilla. “Hot dogs, I got hot dogs!” Let me tell you something: When you’re hungry, they're delicious.
I’ll never forget that: You might not pay anybody, but the taco guy is the guy you always pay, because you always want to eat.When I came out of the institution, I became a drug counselor. In fact, I’m still a drug counselor. I’ll never stop doing that, because you have to give back. But that’s how I ended up in movies; I was a sponsor for a guy working on set, so I started training actors to box. Then I ended up joining the cast. And then another, and another.
. And a record label. And a coffee label. I got beer too. I don’t even drink, but all my friends love it. Next I want to start an acting school. And I still work as a drug counselor, and with autistic kids. You gotta give back. A busy man has time to do everything.
