A kid who witnessed his father struggle to maintain the family restaurant had an idea that is now turning things around.

Restaurant owner Nico Cardenas, who had been providing Mexican food in Utah for ten years, was considering quitting when the outbreak caused his profits to fall.

But Nico decided to let Carlos Cardenas, his son, test one of his suggestions when Carlos requested.

Carlos, who could tell his dad was trying to hide his worry, was resolved to assist his father. Carlos then produced a video for TikTok and uploaded it online.

The video received 1.2 million likes and approximately 6 million views. More significantly, it attracted customers to the Utah-based restaurant.

In the 11 hours they were open, Carlos noticed that they may have had 10 customers that day, but the next day, they had hundreds.

Carlos is now in charge of the restaurant’s social media accounts after his TikTok video was successful. The troubles of the Cardenas family might be understood by many viewers.

As a child whose father ran a small business, I experienced the same fear and sadness during the 2008 recession, when business virtually ceased. One YouTube user said, ‘This youngster is fantastic. I’m so glad he was able to support his family company.

‘When you love your children and they love you straight back when you need it… Wholesome as hell,’ added a different.

Another person said, ‘Here I was thinking social media had ruined our civilization.’ Carlos then contradicts me. Bro, your dad is incredibly proud to be your dad. To have a boy like you would make anyone incredibly proud.’
