Taqueria Poblano owner Jeffrey Wallingford, front, is presented the 2019 Heart of Del Ray award Feb. 8 from members of the Del Ray Business Association. "We couldn't do it without our staff, business community and customers,” Wallingford said. “A wise man once said, ‘the love you take is equal to the love you make’ — and that is what Del Ray is all about.” The restaurant was voted as the business “that serves as the heart and soul of Del Ray” through its warm and welcoming attitude, a commitment and generosity to the community and overall contribution to the Del Ray community.
