Pilsen is known as one of the city’s largest Mexican neighborhoods, but Healthy Hood founder Tanya Lozano explains it wasn’t always that way. Her grandparents were among the first Mexican families to move to the area in the 1960s. Tanya shares some of the history with host Jacoby Cochran, along with her favorite things to eat, see, and do in Pilsen.
