Life and career

Paredes is from La Estrella, in the municipality of Pinos, Zacatecas, and moved to the city of San Luis Potosí at age eight. A mother of nine, she sold tortillas and enchiladas door to door before opening an enchilada stand on Mariano Ávila around 1961. A helper named Camilita taught her to make tacos rojos, which became the stand's best-selling dish. She insisted on cooking over charcoal rather than gas. By 2023 she had retired, and her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren run the stand at the corner of Mariano Arista and Mariano Ávila.
