Ingleside's Taqueria El Jalapeño is changing hands after 20 years.

Elvia Torrez, the Ocean Avenue taqueria's longtime owner, could not be reached for comment. She handed over the keys to the new owners at the end of March.

Miles Escobedo, co-owner of Ocean Ale House and a longtime customer, lamented Torrez's departure, stating that she was a good neighbor and operated her business with heart.
