[grunting]

Wow, Carl.

We've only been
in class two weeks,

and you're already
our star student.

[grunting]



Mwah!

- Yeah.
- Sweet moves.

I've been taking karate here
for months.

[sighs]

And I still can't even
tie my belt right.

[grunts]

My mom ties my belt.

But I got
the mad karate skills.

If you ask nice,

I don't mind helping
you guys out.

[grunting]

All right, my awesome trio.

Big news!

We're now a class of four!

[dramatic music]

- Adelaide?
- I mean...

Adelaide.

Carl.

This is great!

Since you guys already
know each other,

why don't you show her
the ropes, Carl?

Sure, Sensei.
I'd love to show her.

Show her who's number one.

[laughs maniacally]

[grunts]

[grunting]

Wow, Adelaide.
How'd you do that?

I just did what Sensei Par
said to do.

[gong strikes]

[gasps]

[grunts]

Beginner's luck.

I was going easy on you

'cause it's your first time.

It is your first time, right?

Yep, but it seems
pretty simple.

Or so you think.

Time to get serious!

[screams]

[grunting]

[moans]

Beginner's luck.

[all grunting]

[exciting rock music]

[grunts]

[grunts, exclaims]

Beginner's luck.

Beginner's luck.

- She tied my belt.
- Wow.

Amazing.

Hey, Carl.

Take a picture of me
and my new star student.

[groans]

Say cheese!

[camera shutter clicks]

Thanks.

I'll treasure this forever.

I guess it's not
beginner's luck.

[groaning]

Yep.
She's gotta go.

And I know just how to do it.

[laughing maniacally]

I'm here to take you home,
mi amor.

Mom, you ruined
my scheming moment.

I'm sorry, mijo.

Just pretend I'm not even here.

I'll cover my ears.

- [humming tune]
- Thank you.

[clears throat]

[laughs maniacally]

[tense music]

[maniacal laughter]

And now the glue.

[laughing, yelps]

Uh, what are you two doing?

And why is Carl
laughing like that?

[squawks]
We're rigging a b...

Remember whose dessert you're
getting for a whole week, bird.

- I don't wanna know.
- Let's go, Sid.

Right.

We gotta work on the new
and improved Breakfast Bot.

I added a fruit prep function.

Let's see how he does
with apples.

[slams]

Hmm.
Needs work.

[tense music]

Go to work, Sergio.

[chomping]

Perfecto!

Easy-break
cracker boards complete.

[laughs]

Rubber boards done too.

Sweet.
Let's try it out.

[grunts]

[groans]

Perfect.

[knocks]

Quick... cue the challenge music.

[silly music]

Not that song!

Don't touch my boombox.

Hurry up.

[both grunting]

[clears throat sarcastically]

[grunting]

What do you want, Carl?

"Sugar, Sugar Rainbow Unicorn
Friendship Hour" is on.

I'm missing the intro.

Adelaide Chang,
I hereby challenge you

to a board breaking duel
tomorrow.

Hiya!

Loser leaves karate class...

forever!

No thanks.

[grunts]

What?

Okay.
I get it.

You're too scared.

Ugh, fine.
I'll duel with you.

But don't cry to me

when you have to leave
the class after I win.

♪ "Sugar, Sugar Rainbow Unicorn
Friendship Hour" ♪

Oh, you're going down.

[exciting music]

[suspenseful music]

Good luck.

[♪ ♪]

Okay.

I didn't know we were having
a contest tonight,

but I'm glad you guys
are so motivated.

And start.

[exciting music]

[grunting]

Whoa.

You're snapping these
like twigs.

Or crackers.

Ow.

[grunts]

What the heck?

[grunting]

[♪ ♪]

And time.

Carl broke 14?

Wow!
Amazing!

And Adelaide, zero?

- [laughing]
- Yeah!

Whoa!

I so kicked your butt.

Congratulations, Carl.

I guess I'm quitting class now.

- Wait.
- You're leaving?

- Yep.
- I promised.

[reflective music]

That's a bummer.

And it changes my plans a lot.

Carl, I was gonna ask Adelaide,

but now you're my last hope.

Can you do a board
breaking demonstration

at your school tomorrow?

[gasps]

Can I?

You got it.

I'm the star student after all.

- Ah, great.
- You're a lifesaver.

We're gonna need
more fake boards.

[squawks]

Coming right up.

[both laughing maniacally]

[bell rings]

[suspenseful music]

Ready to go, Par.

Just tell me where
I should put the boards.

No need, brah.

We're using these special
promo boards I had made.

Check it.

Oh, yeah!

Join Par's Dojo.

Pretty sweet, huh?

Yeah.

Sweet.

I'm glad you think so.

Uh, between you and me,

we really need
to impress the kids

and get them to join the class

or the dojo is going
out of business.

Out of business?

Forever?

Well, yeah.

Our class is super small.

And losing Adelaide
was really tough.

That was a quarter
of our money right there.

Anyway, go ahead
and warm up.

I'm gonna go get
the banner I made.

It also has my face on it.

[breathing heavily]

What do we do now, Sergio?

The dojo will close if
we don't do the demonstration.

And karate class
is my favorite.

Maybe I'm strong enough now.

[grunts]

Ow!
[gasps]

Kiss it better.
Kiss it better.

Ew, kiss it yourself.

- [groans]
- Mwah.

We need a plan.

You're on your own, buddy.

I've already got your dessert
for the next week.

My advice?
Find another way to cheat.

Another way to cheat?

Oh!
I got it!

If I can't use
fake boards anymore,

then I just need something
that can break the real ones.

Hm.
But what's strong enough?

[distant mechanical rumbling]

[electronic beep]

Ooh.

All right, Breakfast Bot.

You finally got apples.

Let's try a harder fruit now.

Maybe coconut?
Pineapple?

I'll check the cafeteria.
Be right back.

[whistling tune]

Oh, hey, Carl.

[suspenseful music]

And now, to show you
how awesome karate is

and how good I am
at teaching it,

meet our class's star student,

Carl Casagrande!

Hiya!

- Ooh.
- Wow!

Oh, yeah!

Join Par's Dojo.

Huh.
Weird.

Why isn't it working?

[yawns]

What?

Whoa!

Let's try it
on a higher setting.

Carl, is everything okay?

Does it look okay?

[all gasp]

- Hey.
- Those aren't real arms.

There you are.

I've been looking everywhere
for you guys.

Oh.
Hey, Carl.

- [gasps]
- The karate is fake!

[gasps]

- [crowd jeering]
- Par's Dojo stinks!

[dramatic music]

Goodbye, dojo.

[gasps]

This was lame.

Everyone, wait.

[breathing heavily]

Okay.
I cheated.

- Yes.
- [gasps]

But Par is a great sensei,

and our dojo is cool.

I can prove it.

Adelaide is...
[groans]

A karate genius
who Par trained.

[all gasp]

I'm sorry.

I cheated before too

so I could get you
to leave class.

I just liked being
the best one there.

What are you saying, Carl?

Ugh, you're really
milking this, aren't you?

I'm saying you're
better than me.

So please do the demo
and save the dojo.

All I needed to hear
was that I'm better.

Let's do this.

[grunting]

- All right!
- Roll that music!

That'll be $4.32.

Oh, uh, I got no cash on me.

Well, since we are friends,

guess what time it is.

My watch says 11:00,

but my stomach and my nose

say it's taco time.

Ding, ding. We have a winner.

Whoa.

I've never seen a red taco.

Rosa's secret birria broth
turns them

super red

Can I have a bite?

Well, since we are friends,
no.

I'll give you five bucks

Bobby, are you thinking
what I'm thinking?

That I should start eating
my lunch in the bathroom

where it's safe.

Mi amor, we're sitting
on a gold mine.

We can sell your red tacos
in the mercado

and make a fortune.

Hey, Abuelo!

I heard tacos and money.

I'm in.

Carl, get back
in the bathtub.

[laughs]

We don't need a fortune,
Hector.

Come on.
Please?

- [sighs]
- [Carl laughing]

If it's that important
to you, we can try, mi amor.

- Carl!
- Rosita, gracias!

Your tacos are gonna
make us mucho mucho money.

Mucho mucho money.
Mucho mucho money.

[bell dings]

Look!
Our first customer.

Welcome to the Casagrandes Mercado.

We have a tasty
new item... tacos.

[bell dings]

Maybelle, guess what's new.

Red tacos.

Get away, pop-up ad.

Mama needs her mangoes.

Hm.
Coming at me like that.

We're going about this
all wrong.

People need to smell
the taco goodness.

Ready?

Aim...

Taco.

Huh?

Mm!

[sniffs, gasps]

Hey.
Get your own taco.

- No, no...
- Give me...

There's plenty
for both of you,

for $5 each that is.

Well done, Roberto.

I'd better go make more.

Yay.

I did good.
Yeah.

Order for Hong.

- That's me.
- [squawks]

Extra meat, extra onions,

and extra heavy.

[grunting]

[chomping]

These are amazing, Hector!

Almost as good
as the kimbap at my store.

Somebody's jealous.

What's that smell?

Is this where you get those red
tacos we've been hearing about?

I don't care what it costs.

I need those tacos in my belly
right now.

If you'll excuse me.

Both: Red tacos!

Red tacos!
Red tacos!

[sizzling]

Whoa.

Sameer just texted me
that Casey just texted him

that Nikki said your tacos
are legit 100.

Ay.
They want 100 tacos?

No, that means really good.

[squawks]
Just got an order for 20 more.

Ah, legit.

[squawks]
You can do this, Sergio.

[all groan]

Aw, this is taking forever.

Yeah.

Customers buying tacos, like,

shouldn't have to wait
with the produce people.

She's right.

Okay, people.
Two lines.

If you want tacos,
move to the right.

For mercado items,
move to your left.

[dissatisfied chatter]

Oh, no.
What if I want both?

You've got this, Sergio.

Uh-oh.
You don't got this, Sergio!

Ah!

I'm gonna entertain
the customers

as my new alter ego...
DJ Tacotron.

[electronic dance music
playing from boombox]

Oh, I gotta tell you,

at first, I was scared
to try a red taco.

Then I remembered
other red foods I like:

Marinara sauce, pasta sauce,

pizza sauce,
fry sauce, saucy sauce.

Is he gonna be here
the whole time?

You get used to him.

I'm forgetting
an important one.

Uh... oh, ketchup!

[distant car honks]

Are we rolling?

Rosa, how does it feel

to have everyone rave
about your cooking?

Busy.

I never expected my food
to be so "1,000."

100.

[chuckles]

Well, whatever it is,
it's the taco the town.

Mm, mm!

That is good.

DJ Tacotron, take it away.

When I say Rosa,
you say tacos.

Rosa!
All: Tacos!

- Rosa!
- All: Tacos!

Both: Mwah!

[all laughing]

All: Red tacos!
Red tacos!

- Ay.
- I'm so tired.

I was making tacos
in my sleep.

Hurry, Abuela.

There's a line for tacos
down the block.

- Already?
- I haven't even showered.

I got you, Abuela.

Let's go.

Mr. Nakamura,
what are you doing here?

My toilet's not working.

Please help.
I gotta go so bad.

[moans]

- Don't worry.
- Hector will fix it.

- Me?
- Why do I have to do it?

Because my tacos

that you asked me to sell
are a goldmine, remember?

Please anyone,
just fix it soon!

How hard can it be
to fix a toilet?

[toilet rumbling]

[yells]

Abuelo, there you are.

You may notice a slight change.

[chomping]

The taco stand
got so popular,

we had to make more room
for customers.

Hey.
Where is the produce section?

You're looking at it.
[chuckles]

What?

But I had
the best produce aisle

in the neighborhood.

Abuela,
we need to make my cake.

Oh, no!

The tres leches cake
for your school today.

I'm so sorry, mijo.

Your abuelo will have
to help you.

These customers are hungry.

Me?

What do I know
about making tres leches cake?

Well, you'd better
learn quick

so you don't disappoint
your nieto.

[sighs]

[grumbling indistinctly]

Have you made
tres leches cake before?

No, but I've eaten hundreds.

Let's see.

Milk is obviously leche.

Sour cream is, uh,
kind of a leche.

And Carlota's oat milk
probably counts.

And there's a cupcake
in here too.

Mm.

One for me,
and one for the recipe.

[blender whirring]

[splashes]

Ta-da!

Tres leches cake.

[vacuum whirring]

Abuelo?

What are you doing?

Apparently, it's my job
to clean the house now.

You've turned into Abuela!

[laughing]

A bald Abuela!

[grumbles, grunts]

[laughs]
You don't have Abuela's aim.

Mm.

Oof.

Bobo vacuum.

Hey, Abuelo.

So we had to make a few
more changes to the mercado.

[indistinct chatter]

[dance music]

My mercado!

Don't worry.

We moved the mercado
to a nice, cozy nook with AC.

You'd better wear this.

Good luck!

Ay, que frio.

Chicos y chicas,

I give you the one and only...

Rosa!

Lalo, lime me.

Hey, Hector.

Looks like the tacos
are such a hit,

you have no more mercado.

Nonsense.

The sign outside still says
Casagrandes Market.

You sure about that?

[dramatic music]

I had some extra red paint.

Isn't it beautiful?

Ay.

[sobbing softly]

Abuelo?

Are you dressed like Abuela
and crying into money?

No.

[sobbing]
Here's your allowance.

[blows nose]

I'm good.
What's wrong?

[sighs]

I miss the way things
were before.

I'm not good at housecleaning
and fixing toilets.

Or baking.

This cake was "tres" lousy.

See?

I can't believe
I'm saying this,

but I was somehow happier
with less money.

I can take the sadness
off your hands.

- [laughing]
- [growls]

[grunts]

How does she throw this?

Aww.

I can't replace Rosa.

I belong in the mercado.

Have you told Abuela
how you feel?

No.

This whole taco thing
was my idea.

And Rosa is finally getting
the attention she deserves.

I just have to live with it.

It's just you and me, amigo.

[mechanical whir]

[coughs]

Maybe I'll try to talk to her.

Ugh!
No cutting.

Cutting?
I own this place.

Rosa, I have something to say.

Hey.
Give these two some privacy.

Continue, Hector.

[chomping]

Rosa, this isn't easy for me,

but I...
[grunts]

I want things to go back
to how they were.

I want you
to stop selling tacos.

Oh, Hector.

I know.
This was my idea.

But I'm miserable
without my mercado.

I'll do anything
to get it back.

I'll take you to a ritzy spa.

- Hector.
- A fancy dinner.

- Hector, I...
- An expensive vacation!

Hector, if you'd let me talk,

you'd know I also want things
the way they were.

[swallows]
You do?

Yes.

I miss spending time
with the kids.

I miss you.

But since you offered,

I will take that ritzy spa,

fancy dinner,
and expensive vacation.

[laughing]

Mi amorcito, you got it.

If she's done making tacos,

then that's the last one!

[all clamoring]
