LA Times  

Customers leave flowers and other gifts on the outdoor patio at Tacos Delta in Silver Lake to honor the restaurant’s co-founder Maria Esther Valdivia, who died May 25 after being hit by a car on May 22. Maria Esther Valdivia, one of L.A.’s taco matriarchs, died last week due to injuries sustained after she was hit by a car while using a crosswalk. “She was like a mother figure, like a grandmother who just loved,” said one customer, Jose Sanchez, near a growing memorial of flowers and keepsakes on the taqueria’s outoor patio. “That’s our second family — all our customers are our family and they’ve been supporting us through this.” “She would never say no to the beach,” said Elizabeth Rodriguez of her mother Maria Esther Valdivia.
