Henry Garcia's family is from Anahuac, Nuevo Leon, Mexico, and his parents who are Ryan's grandparents, migrated to the United States in the middle of the last century. Henry was born in Chicago, but speaks Spanish fluently.

Lisa Diaz was born in New Mexico, but her family traces their roots from Mexico. Lisa's ancestors lived in New Mexico when it was still a Mexican territory. During the war of Mexico against the United States between 1846 and 1847, the Mexicans lost that land to the invading Americans. But Lisa Diaz's family had been living there, that is why they consider themselves as Mexican.
