☕🌮 Some merchant relationships start with a cold call while others grow organically within the community.
We’re excited to welcome Cafe Zócalo to the Affinity24 merchant family!
I’ve had the privilege of knowing owners Juan Carlos Vazquez and Mariana Vazquez through our Orange County Chamber community for some time. Juan Carlos and I served together through the Tustin Chamber of Commerce, and I’ve crossed paths with Mariana at countless local business events.
So when the opportunity came for Affinity24 to support their family business, this one meant a good deal more!
Café Zocalo is exactly the kind of local business we love supporting: family-owned, deeply connected to the community, full of personality and built around genuine hospitality. Their Mexican-American menu includes chilaquiles, breakfast burritos, tortas, fresh pastries, coffee and plenty more — all right in the heart of Old Towne Orange. And if the food in these pictures doesn’t convince you, the Orange Chamber naming them the 2025 Best Breakfast Winner might. 😎
But this is also what we believe merchant services should look like.
Not a 1-800 number. Not a processor you never meet. Not somebody who disappears after the application is signed and only mails you some hardware.
We want to know the businesses we serve.
We want to understand how they operate.
We want to show up when they need help.
And whenever possible, we want to help tell their story and send business back through their doors.
Congratulations to Juan Carlos, Mariana and the entire Cafe Zócalo team. We’re proud to have you with Affinity24 — and even prouder to call you friends.
