Luis Rodriguez was a regular character on Sesame Street from 1971 to 2015. He is Mexican-American. He married Maria in season 19, and they had a daughter named Gabi the following year.
For several years, Luis and Maria operated the Fix-It Shop, where they repaired an assortment of items, including an innumerable quantity of toasters. Luis founded the shop with Rafael in the third season. In 2002, Maria and Luis converted the store into a Mail It Shop, but reverted it back to the Fix-It Shop in 2006. In 2014, he began maintaining the Bike Shop.
With his friends, Luis visited his family in New Mexico for several episodes in season 7 and helped his grandfather build an adobe house.
In attendance at Luis' wedding was his Tío (uncle) José.
