“Hard work does not intimidate me I learned from the best. Plus, I have two great general managers, Giovani Gonzales in Covington and Brent Willis in Mandeville.”

After graduating from Archbishop Hannan High School, Alison attended Pepperdine University before transferring and graduating from Louisiana State University. After graduation, she worked at CitiBank in Dallas and then moved to Manhattan to work at Blackstone.

“It was good to get away from the restaurant business for a few years, but I was still involved to a degree by helping with their social media and answering questions when I knew the staff was super busy on days like Cinco de Mayo.”

Alison returned to Louisiana when Leticia was diagnosed with cancer.

“I knew she needed help and so did my Uncle Saul It was an easy decision as I had been away long enough and it was time to come back to the family business. My mom passed away last November but I know she is still helping me with the many management and people skills she taught me.”

Since returning to Louisiana, Alison has taken on more responsibilities and today she is a major contributor to the success of the twelve La Carreta Restaurants and the other restaurants in Rubio Hospitality Group.

Alison and her team always wants their guests to feel valued and comfortable. They invite you to stop in at your favorite La Carreta location and join the celebration!
