Today we’d like to introduce you to Gilbert DeLaRosa III.
Hi Gilbert, so excited to have you on the platform. So before we get into questions about your work-life, maybe you can bring our readers up to speed on your story and how you got to where you are today?
Born and raised on the vibrant Southside of San Antonio, Texas, an individual has embarked on a mission to blend faith, fun, and the Latino spirit in a podcast that has rapidly gained popularity. Firmly rooted in the belief of Jesus Christ, the goal is not only to showcase the essence of San Antonio but to reach a global audience, demonstrating that walking in faith while embracing one’s cultural identity can be both enjoyable and uplifting.
The Deloco Podcast, which took its inaugural steps in December 2021, has experienced significant growth. The podcast has expanded its reach, making its mark on platforms such as Spotify, Apple Podcasts, IHeart Radio Podcast, and YouTube. The journey has been marked by milestones, with the podcast amassing a dedicated following of 4,000 listeners and earning an impressive 5-star rating.
What sets Deloco Podcast apart is its distinctive fusion of faith, cultural celebration, and entertainment. Currently, it proudly holds the noteworthy rank of #196 in the charts on both Apple Podcasts and Spotify, a testament to its widespread appeal. The success of the podcast can be attributed not only to its captivating content but also to the inclusion of special guests who bring their unique flair to each episode. As Deloco Podcast continues to capture the hearts of listeners, its journey becomes a testament to the power of faith, cultural pride, and the joy that can be found in embracing both. Through the airwaves, this podcast is not only entertaining but also serves as a source of inspiration, proving that one can walk in faith, have a good time, and share the richness of their heritage with the world.
Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
Trying to not compare ourselves to well established podcast! Ensuring we are “Set- Apart as God has Called us while still be fun and energetic.
Starting podcast from my home to a local coffee shop Cafe Azteca and then a local Studio. Trying to find our home, that is our vibe. In 2026 we can now say we have our own Casita Southtown of San Antonio 5-6 mins from Downtown San Antonio and just being to embody our Casita to share with listeners!
Alright, so let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. What should we know about your work?

Let’s talk about our city – what do you love? What do you not love?
There is a specific rhythm to San Antonio that gets under your skin and refuses to leave. It’s a city woven together by deep history, the hum of the River Walk, the limestone walls of the missions, and a pride that runs as deep as the aquifer beneath our feet.
Silver and Black in Our Blood
You can’t talk about San Antonio without talking about the Spurs. Basketball here isn’t just a seasonal sport; it’s a civic religion, a masterclass in teamwork, and the heartbeat of the community. From the championship parades down the river to the eternal chant of Go Spurs Go echoing through every neighborhood, the team represents the grit, humility, and quiet excellence of the city itself. Wearing the silver and black is a badge of honor.
The Breakfast Taco Capital: Nowhere else in the world does a freshly made, buttery flour tortilla wrapped in bacon, egg, and cheese taste like home quite like it does here.
Tex-Mex and Beyond: From legendary neighborhood tex-mex spots that have stood for decades to the incredible culinary renaissance at the Pearl and Southtown, the flavor profile of the city is a vibrant collision of Mexican heritage and Texas tradition.
Culture Rooted in Community
What truly makes San Antonio special, though, is the people and the culture. It’s a place where tradition is fiercely guarded and celebrated—whether it’s the colorful chaos and joy of Fiesta, the lantern-lit evenings along the river, or neighborhood porch hangouts where everyone is treated like family.
San Antonio has soul. It’s laid-back yet fiercely proud, historic yet constantly evolving. There’s nowhere else on earth quite like it.
