Our Roots
Our food truck began as a lifelong dream of the Cantera Family matriarch. Paula Cantera had a speciality for sauces that would make your mouth water, and her husband Sergio cooked tender, flavorful meat, making them the perfect ying and yang, cooking together and growing a family.
​
Owner, Ivan Cantera, saved with intention — to fulfill his mother's dream and give back to his family — and successfully launched "Mijos Taqueria" in 2017.
​
One of the first few food trucks to emerge in downtown Oklahoma City, Ivan proudly ran the business while his parents cooked their family recipes.
​
Today, Ivan continues his family legacy, sharing a love of food with the community one taco or nacho at a time.
Today's Vision
Still based in Oklahoma City and ran by the Cantera family, our food truck has evolved from "Mijos Taqueria" to
"La Chicana Cocina."
​
With all of the same great food, Ivan has partnered with Javier Hernandez, a long-time family friend, to evolve their brand in a nod to all the women in their lives, including Ivan's mother, Paula, who passed in 2022.
"When it comes to Hispanic and Latin dishes, they bring people together. There is a reason it's a lot of people's favorite food! With our business, we hope to unify our neighbors as they find each dish full of Mexican love."
