SAN MARCOS, Texas Every Monday through Thursday members of Students in Free Enterprise sell Lolitas breakfast tacos in the quad at Texas State University. They sell 200 tacos everyday for $2 a piece.
Lolitas Café is a popular breakfast restaurant in San Marcos. SIFE wanted to increase their revenues by selling the tacos in multiple locations, so this is what they did. They recently bought a freezer, fridge, and two grills for Lolitas shop. SIFE student Jared Trimm says, I love the smiles on peoples faces when they receive their breakfast taco. This project has been very successful, and it is all because of the hard working students in SIFE.
