The tienda that Jesus Martinez and his family run on Arrow Road doesn’t have much room to walk around in. Elaborate piñatas hang low from the shop’s ceiling, and customers weave in and out of narrow aisles stocked with Hispanic foods, produce and coolers filled with fresh tortillas.
Up until recently, you could barely move in the Tienda Y Tortilleria San Jose during the midday rush.
“We used to be packed all the time,” Martinez said while ringing up the lunch tab for a worker from a local landscaping company wearing an orange vest. “But right now, it’s slow.”*
