El Gato Night Market attracts diverse Latino communities, featuring around 70 to 80 vendors each night and offering a variety of cuisines. Recently, the market experienced a drop in vendors to 45 due to Immigration and Customs Enforcement raids, which significantly impacted local businesses. Although the market initially shut down for two weeks, it reopened in June 2022 in a new location. Vendors express hope for a gradual return to normalcy as many rely solely on income from markets like El Gato.
