RPV restaurateur was food pioneer

Hortencia is a sample to us all of what can be done if we do not limit ourselves by what others say. We will miss you Hortensia but your legacy will carry on!

I think the page is having trouble reading Latin letters. Magana (won't read the Latin n) was her last name.

Sorry to her friends and family, she seemed like a wonderful person.

~~~~~~~Outstanding Women ~~~~~~~

the carne asada burritos are the shizznit.

I went to High School with Diana. They are a very gracious, caring, close family. I am sorry for their loss of such a great person. My prayers and thoughts are with them.

Outstanding personal story you have shared with readers. Thank you.

Am sorry she's gone, food is excellent and she's a GREAT example of women succeeding!

What a wonderful person, bringing joy to all those who ate at here restaurants. Condolences to the family.

My condolences to the family. We have been loyal customers to the Carson Restaurant for 2 generations.

With that said and since this is a public forum, I have to make a few comments. The writer of this article did the woman and her family a great disservice. It was nice that she was a "Latino Activist". Activist of what? She was a multi millionaire. She is also an example of the fact that ANYONE in the US can be successful. All she did was make the right choices. Whenever I see the word "activist" and it is related to race, it is code for racist. In other words this woman was a Latino Racist. Shifting gears here, what would a White Activist be? Come to think of it, the article failed to mention that she was not an equal opportunity employer. I don't think I have ever seen a White or Black American working in her restaurants. Maybe I just missed them. Most of the time the employees didn't speak English.

The other thing that gripes me about this article is the fact that there is not one mention of how grateful she might have been for the opportunity afforded her by this great nation. No, not one mention of it. Was she proud to be an American?

Wow!

Are you butt hurt sweetie?

She ran a slave driven store.All were ilegals and none speak english. I never saw the American Flag, anywhere in the store .None of her workers paid SS taxes. She was a slave runner."Coyote Woman" would be more suitable name for her.

This article represents a wasted opportunity to bring Americans together. Magana could have been portrayed as successful American immigrant entrepreneur. Instead, she's a "Latino activist". Why does her race matter? The point of view expressed in this article should be condemned. We don't need further divisions in our society.

you will always be remember in our hearts, rest in peace

A "Latino Activist" Why is that mentioned? If a white woman from Europe came here and was a "White or Caucasian Activist" who only employed other Whites would be labeled racist. This is why there are certain comments on this forum that question the articles content. Race should play no part in this woman's outstanding achievements.

they sure make good tacos at dianas.
