Business Owner

Sky’s Gourmet Tacos is a Los Angeles institution, and its founder, Barbara Jean “Sky” Burrell, is an undeniable legend. Before opening the first location of Sky’s in 1992, she was the first African American hired by the Kroger’s supermarket chain, earned a master’s degree in Strategic Business Management, trained as a cook, oversaw a staff of 200 at United Way, was on the board of The Watts Labor Action Committee, and was part of the team that introduced the first drive-thru for McDonald’s. But after all that, Sky decided to embrace her passion for food, and turned her attention to the humble taco, experimenting with infusing the Mexican creation with a dose of Southern soul. Sky Taco was the result, and it proved to be an overnight smash hit.
