Ruth and Isaac are a couple who work in a food truck in the busiest area of downtown Austin, TX. Both arrived from Mexico many years ago, but they did not do it together. In Grilled Queso, Ruth and Isaac will tell us how they came to the United States and how they met, as we follow them through a busy night serving customers in Austin.
