Southern Ute tribal member Amber Baker-Valdez and husband Omar Valdez have ventured in-to the food service industry, offering an authentic Mexican menu at “Mi Hito’s” (My Boys) in what used to be the REZ Girls food stand, located in the parking lot of the Southern Ute Housing building.
The freshly prepared, made to order menu boasts food prepared by Omar Valdez, originally from La Junta, Chihuahua, Mexico which consists of family recipes as well as his own.
“I wanted to do something more family oriented, something together as a family.” Said Baker-Valdez. The name Mi Hito’s was picked as her boys, Aydin and Nathaniel are the most important part of her life – (pictured holding plates of their food). Mi Hito’s hours are currently, Mon. – Fri., 11:30 a.m. – 2:30 p.m., and from 3:30 – 8 p.m. Check for info and updated menu items on the Mi Hito’s Facebook page.
