Kendl (sister of Grove Street Leader Sweet) ends up dating a high-ranking member of the Aztecas while CJ befriends him - much to the disapproval of Sweet. However, both gangs will still commonly fight. Their rivalry with the Varrios Los Aztecas is not nearly as intense as it is with the Ballas and Vagos. The Families also maintain rivalries with the two Mexican gangs in Los Santos - the Los Santos Vagos and the Varrios Los Aztecas. They are the sworn enemy of the Ballas, an intense and ongoing rivalry as part of the Ballas-Grove Street War. They are also the native gang of protagonist Carl Johnson. The Grove Street Families is an African-American street gang and one of the oldest street gangs in Los Santos, San Andreas.
