Here is a link to a story by a reporter who paid a visit to Cuautla.

Leticia,

 

Up here in Washington State, in the Northwest US, there are about 320 Mexican restaurants that are owned and staffed by people from a little place in Mexico called Cuautla, Jalisco.  Are you familiar with Cuautla?  On the map, it looks like it is way out in the middle of nowhere southeast of Guadalajara. It looks like most of the people in that town came up here.

One historical era of my ancestors rancho started around the 1980's.
My ancestors land became the land of the absent (well regarding this
story matter), young people emigrated to US east side the most, and I
don't know yet how they started, but they opened taco shops -one brand
name is "taqueria Jalisco"-, one of the two pioneers died soon from
cancer illness, the other nowdays sells concessions of his brand name,
the widow of the death one converted the ranch of my
great-greatgrandpha into a spanish hollywood mansion style vacation
retreat but kept the old adobe house. Well, one day, out of my
delirious mind trying to drive a time travel machine, had the idea of

Regarding Tomas Alva Edison...
A couple of years ago, I had a number of people from
Zacatecas tell me that Tomas Edison was originally
from Zacatecas.  Hard to believe it, but possible. 
And why not, Walt Disney was of latino parents. So was
Rita Hayward, Anthony Quinn, George Bush Jr., Governor
Richardson from New Mexico, the last major league
baseball player to hit over .400 (William's I
believe), Linda Ronstadt, and many others that I
cannot remember.  And I sure there will many more
within our life time.

Hey, don't forget we come from great stock.
