A Recipe for Success: Kitsap Credit Union and Mezcalitos’ Story of Success

At Kitsap Credit Union, we don’t just fund businesses—we help our members invest in their growth, their goals, and their legacy.

One of our longtime members, a passionate local restaurateur, Carlos De Luna, owner of Mezcalitos, built a loyal following with several popular spots. But there was one missing piece, he didn’t own the buildings.

When the chance came to buy the property for one of his locations, he knew it was more than a real estate deal, it was an investment in his future.

That’s where our commercial banking team stepped in. We helped finance the purchase and guided him through the process, turning a longtime dream into a smart, strategic move.

We’re always here to help local businesses succeed, because when they grow, our community grows, and we all thrive.

If you’re ready to take the next step for your business, let’s talk. We’d love to help make your vision a reality. Get started at https://kitsapcu.org/business/.
