A Newark native's food truck is fusing Ghanaian and Mexican cuisine.

Cliff Mills and his team park the Afro Taco food truck on Elizabeth Avenue at Weequahic Park in Newark.

When the Ghanaian-born, Newark-raised entrepreneur asked why he chose those two cuisines, he gave a simple answer.

“I have a real love for Mexican food, and I’m Ghanaian," he said.

Mills leveraged his success with the food truck to open his restaurant, Oko, two years ago, continuing to build on his legacy.
