“
Let me guess, Sweet - senseless killing right, but a boyfriend from the Southside, wrong?
”
— Kendl Johnson to Sweet Johnson.
Cesar Vialpando is a mission in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas given to protagonist Carl Johnson by Grove Street Families leader Sean "Sweet" Johnson from his home in Ganton, Los Santos, San Andreas.
Mission[]
Carl drops by Sweet's house, only to find Sweet and Kendl arguing because of Kendl's relationship with Cesar Vialpando, the leader of the Varrios Los Aztecas. After a while, Kendl leaves, and Sweet furiously orders CJ to go and watch over Kendl in case anything dangerous occurs.
Carl goes to the Loco Low Co. garage in Willowfield. Once there, he is given a Savanna by a worker who says that he owed Sweet from way back. Carl modifies the car and then goes to the meet in Unity Station, where Kendl and Cesar are going to be. Upon arriving, he competes against a Varrios Los Aztecas gang member in a lowrider competition. After getting more points on bouncing his lowrider's hydraulics in time with the music, Carl wins the wager he earlier made.
Kendl happily celebrates and hugs Carl, just as Cesar shows up and shakes hands. Carl tells Kendl he's there to make sure her boyfriend doesn't harm her, and when Kendl hugs Cesar he tries to separate them. An argument ensues and one of Cesar's friends attempts to start a fight with Carl. Cesar, however, manages to stop it. Things calm down, and Cesar explains that Carl has to accept that he treats Kendl well, and is her boyfriend. Carl sees that Cesar is indeed treating Kendl well, and agrees not to interfere. Cesar and Carl then introduce themselves to one another properly then head their separate ways.

Kendl asks Sweet if a mindless gangster would be better for her.
Kendl asks Sweet if he means that he can commit various crimes, but condemn her for dating a Mexican man.
Sweet says that her dating a Mexican is just not meant to happen and asks her what she'd do if her and her Mexican boyfriend had kids.
Sweet then suggests a name for her kid - Leroy Hernandez - and says that a mixture of a first name primarily given to black name and a last name that he thinks is of Kendl's boyfriend doesn't sound good at all.
Kendl tells Sweet that her boyfriend's name isn't Hernandez.
Sweet suggests a second name - Leroy Lopez.
Kendl tells Sweet that her boyfriend's name isn't Lopez either and calls him racist.
Kendl says that racism is not how their mother raised them.
Sweet says that he's not racist and that he just knows how the other Mexican gangbangers her boyfriend hangs around with feel about her.

Both Kendl and Sweet tell CJ to shut up.
As Kendl is walking out of the house, Sweet says that he's trying to protect her.
Kendl asks Sweet why he wants to protect her from a Mexican boyfriend and asks him if he'd prefer it if one of his gangbanging friends dated her instead.
After saying this, Kendl walks up. Sweet tells CJ not to even say anything and to just go after Kendl.
Sweet says that if CJ does this, then he'll see exactly why Sweet doesn't want Kendl hanging around the Mexicans.

Video Walkthroughs[]
Reward[]
The reward for completing this mission is double the amount of money chosen for the wager. The Savanna from Loco Low Co. can be kept after the mission. The mission High Stakes, Low-Rider is unlocked, as well as the Lowrider Challenge side mission. The Loco Low Co. and TransFender mod garages are also unlocked, where the player can modify their vehicle.
Glitches[]
- In the PC version, a glitch might occur, where no matter how well timed, it will never accept bouncing up or down, calling it the wrong move. This is because the keys for up and down are reversed, so if one presses down when it displays up, it will register.
- In the PC version, if one did not reboot their computer for a long time, the mini-game arrows will lag and in some instance cause the mini-game to be unplayable where the only fix it rebooting. This is due to the game tracking how much time passed between each arrow using the computer uptime in seconds as a variable which can overflow.
Trivia[]
- The lowriders that leave the station when the challenge is completed usually seemingly do not have hydraulics, which is strange since hydraulics are required to join the event. However, if Carl kills one of the drivers and gets into one of the lowriders, sometimes it will have hydraulics equipped already.
- Kendl can be seen taking a pink jar of Slick-O-Greese Sex Lard with her at the beginning of the mission before she goes to see Cesar.
- When CJ is confronted by Cesar's gang members, the one speaking uses the same model as the snitch seen in The Introduction.
- Should the original Savanna be lost, a replacement may be found parked in the strip mall parking lot directly south of the Johnson House in Ganton.
- The mission complete song will not play after successfully completing this mission.
- The music that the lowriders compete to in this mission is "Odyssey" by Johnny Harris. The song can also be heard on Bounce FM.
- The music that is heard at the meeting when not competing in the lowrider challenge is "Road to the Riches" by Kool G Rap & DJ Polo. This song can also be heard on Playback FM.
- The music that is heard when Kendl introduces CJ to Cesar is "How I Could Just Kill a Man" by Cypress Hill. This can also be heard on Radio Los Santos.
Notes[]
- ↑ The player attacks or kills any attendants, damages the cars, or fires any weapon while near the meeting
