Facebook Post Saves Texas Restaurant on the Verge of Closure After Years of Hardship
A Food Happenings post drew customers to Sabino's Mexican Cocina, and owner Sabino Hernandez said the rush left his kitchen out of food.
- A viral Facebook post by Food Happenings on March 26 revitalized Sabino's Mexican Cocina in Humble, Texas, bringing so many customers that the kitchen ran out of food by Sunday.
- Owner Sabino Hernandez poured eight years into his restaurant but faced repeated crises: his previous business flooded twice and was destroyed by Hurricane Harvey, then COVID and road construction kept customers away.
- Tables filled immediately after the post, and by Sunday the kitchen had been wiped clean. "No more food for me to serve, you know, like no more chips, no more salsa, no more beans, no more rice, and no more pico, nothing," Hernandez said.
- Friends and nearby business owners stepped in with extra cooks and servers to manage the rush. Friend Paola Rivas noted the contrast: "You would come here and there was like nobody here."
- The outpouring of support caught Hernandez completely off guard, as he had begun to accept this might be his final year in business. "These days for me is the best," he said.
