She was the founder and legendary force behind Yoli’s Tacos & More Catering for the past 7 years. Yoli’s Tacos is a homegrown, family-run business that is famous for breakfast tacos and anytime tacos on handmade tortillas, plus fantastic daily specials. She won “Best of Bastrop” 3 years in a row by consistently and rapidly serving delicious food to a wide assortment of loyal customers and friends. This was more than a business; this was her ministry.

She also won the hearts of Bastropians every day by cheering their successes, smiling at their babies, brightening lives with her signature laugh, providing counsel when needed, and catering special landmarks in their lives. She was a woman of faith, a nourishing mother figure to many, and a cherished friend to all.

Revered as the hardest working woman in Bastrop, she also inspired her children to fine-tune their trades and open their own businesses. With her encouragement, all DeLeon family members are entrepreneurs who exemplify love in action.
