About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Rogelio’s and asked, ‘Hey, do you fix cars that won’t start because they’re too smart?’ Rogelio looked puzzled for a moment, then grinned and said, 'Si, si! I can fix any car—even ones that think they're too good for us!' He winked and added, 'Just bring it in, and we'll see what our little genius has to say.' The driver laughed and drove off, knowing his car would be back on the road before he even finished his coffee.

2. At dawn one day, a delivery driver pulled up to Rogelio’s and asked, ‘Hey, do you fix cars that won’t start because they’re too quiet?’ Rogelio looked puzzled for a moment, then grinned broadly. 'Si, si!' he exclaimed, clapping his hands together. 'I can fix anything that runs on gas or diesel—except maybe electric toothbrushes.' The delivery driver laughed and drove off, while Rogelio waved goodbye to a neighbor who had just pulled in with a noisy old truck.

3. At midnight, an anonymous note appeared on Rogelio’s workshop door: 'Your next customer will be someone from your dreams.' The next morning, a sleepy mechanic found a vintage car driven by no one. That night, Rogelio fixed the car with his usual skill and left it in the shop. Next day, he discovered that his new customer was none other than a sleep-deprived delivery driver who’d accidentally dozed off behind the wheel while waiting for repairs. They both had a good laugh over coffee, and Rogelio learned that sometimes life delivers its best customers when you least expect them.

4. One afternoon, while waiting for his car repairs, a regular noticed something peculiar in Rogelio’s workshop. On the workbench sat an old, rusty key that seemed out of place among the tools. Curious, he picked it up—and suddenly remembered where he’d seen its exact duplicate years ago. Turns out, the old key opened a long-forgotten storage locker filled with ancient gadgets and parts. The regular ended up buying a vintage radio from Rogelio, which started playing the same song both men had hummed during their conversation—‘Cielito Lindo.’ It was a perfect match, like two old friends reuniting over shared memories.
