\"I'm just trying to maintain my payroll and pay rent and just supplies,\" Wersom explained.
Even in the face of these difficult times, Mojito has kept cooking and donated free meals to people who need them most at local recovery centers, King's County Housing Authority and the YMCA, which Wersom said they've done \"460 meals a week just for them.\"
The restaurant is open 7 days a week for delivery and curbside pickup so customers can still get their favorite menu items, like their best-selling Cuban sandwich.
