I remember my first taste of Mexican food – I was about eight years old, and it was at a San Francisco restaurant called Romero’s – a cozy, informal place that served traditional, but bold, Mexican food. Romero knew us and would emerge from the kitchen – aproned and open-armed – when we arrived. We frequented Romero’s until he retired and the doors were closed. But, I have fond memories of the enticing images of tamales enveloped with soft, heavenly masa and enchiladas...

Financing allows drivers the opportunity to drive a new car after making an initial down payment and then making monthly payments until the loan has been paid in full. Without the option to finance, many drivers may not be able to afford a brand new car or even a pre-owned car with relatively few miles that's more reliable than an older used car with a considerable a...
