In this episode of Downtown Dish, hosts Charlie Nusser and Anna Moyers Stone sit down with Isabel Garcia Luna from Luna’s Tacos. Isabel shares her inspiring journey from selling tacos at the Iowa City Farmers Market in 2019 — sparked by her son’s autism diagnosis — to opening a brick-and-mortar restaurant downtown. She discusses her family-inspired Mexican recipes, the challenges of building a business while managing health issues and her son’s therapies, and the overwhelming community support she received. Isabel also reveals her dream of creating an inclusive playground for children with disabilities in Iowa City.
