Mariachi Loco has been a cornerstone of the River Falls community for over 20 years. For many, it’s more than just a restaurant—it’s a job, a second home, and a place where everyone is treated like family. This family business and their dedicated employees are now facing an incredibly difficult time. With reduced operational hours, the inability to pay wages, and barely enough to sustain day-to-day operations, the hardships they’re experiencing surpass even those endured during the COVID pandemic.

This GoFundMe was created to provide direct, short-term financial support to the employees of Mariachi Loco who are experiencing a substantial reduction in income. The goal is simple: to help bridge the gap so families can meet their essential needs while things remain uncertain. Every dollar raised will go toward food, groceries, rent, utilities, transportation, and basic living expenses for the staff who have always been there for the community.

This is about neighbors helping neighbors and recognizing that behind every shift is a real person with real obligations. If you’ve ever been welcomed at Mariachi Loco, enjoyed a meal there, or simply believe in showing up for your community when it matters most, this is your chance to make a meaningful impact. Thank you for your support, whether through a donation or by sharing this fundraiser. It truly makes a difference.
