Huntington Beach Mazda would like to introduce you to General Manager Luis Torres! What Luis loves most about his job is having the ability to coach and train the dealership staff. He absolutely loves to share all the knowledge he has gained over the past 26 years of working in the auto industry. Along with wearing many different hats, Luis is extremely hard-working and guarantees that the community of Orange County and his staff are well taken care of.
Luis was born and raised 16 miles northeast of Huntington Beach in a modern town called Garden Grove. Fun facts, this town is best known for its unique architecture in addition to the hometown of the ongoing broadcast ‘Hour of Power’, which was the most-watched weekly religious program in the 80’s.
Outside of work, Luis loves to spend as much time as possible with his beautiful wife and 3 kids. They enjoy making trips to visit grandma and grandpa when the time allows. Of course, when football and basketball season rolls around, you can find Luis and his family at the SoFi Stadium rooting on the LA Chargers and courtside at the Crytpo.com Arena cheering on the LA Lakers.
There are many wonderful restaurants around the Huntington Beach area, but Luis’ top three restaurant recommendations include:
• Serving the best bar-b-que with the finest southern hospitality, Lucille’s Smokehouse Bar-B-Que! The founder, Craig Hofman, spent several years on a southern bar-b-que tour perfecting the most ideal southern-inspired cook time, sauces, and hospitality. You’ll find Lucille’s in 23 different locations throughout California, predominantly located in Southern California.
• Mimi’s Café offers fresh, hand-prepared comfort food and bistro classics throughout brunch, lunch, and dinner. They are best known for bakery items including muffins and croissants. You can find them in 77 different neighborhoods across 16 US states.
• With quality being the number one ingredient for Porto’s Bakery, this bakery and café offers everything from strudels to chicken croquette to round cakes. You can even order their unbaked, frozen pastries to cook and enjoy in your own home!
