In 2019 they opened the Labyrinth 1.1 space on the north shore of the

Oaxacan restaurant La Morada and the non-profit

Black Lives Matter protesters during the
George Floyd protests.[8] By June 22, 2020, Ghetto Gastro had served 35,000 free meals, and announced that it planned to serve at least 75,000 meals.[9]
