We grew up devout Catholics, so my trips to San Juan always include going to the churches that we used to go to and lighting candles and everything. Everything I do in San Juan is what I used to do with my mom, kind of as a tribute to her. -Cristela Alonzo Mom
I love the Rio Grande Valley. I always say it's home - Texas is home. I've been out in L.A. a little over ten years, and I still get so excited when I go back home. It just feels comfortable; it makes me smile. -Cristela Alonzo Smile
If I'm laughing, you know I'm either very happy or very sad. I cope with things with jokes. -Cristela Alonzo Sad
