Bienvenidos….Mi casa es su casa!

Our family story is like any other story. It began with a dream. Since my fatherwas a brasero (migrate worker), my mother always dreamed of having her familyliving together. My father came to the United States and returned to Mexico severaltimes until one day, in 1970, he immigrated to California with his entire family of ten.

At first my family worked as crop chasers from the San Joaquin Valley to Sacra-mento Ca. Regardless of how hard the job was, my mother and older sibling were al-ways working along-side my father. They worked in different fruit fields; pickingstrawberries, peaches, and walnuts. They worked from dawn to sunset and nevercomplained (almost never). My mother was sure that one day we would be able tosettle down and buy a little house. In 1972, thanks to my older brother Rene, we settled in Orange County. Thenin early 1973, we were able to buy our house (two bedrooms and one bath). Mymom’s dream came true! She said that her house was the most beautiful house inthe world. In 1974, my father with no business experience bought the restaurant. It hadbeen closed for a couple of years and my father thought it would be nice to open arestaurant and have all the family work together. We were very excited. We had ourgrand opening on May 10��; My mother’s “Mothers’ Day Gift”. She had all her familyworking under one roof. My father decided to name the restaurant “El Farolito”,which meant to him the light of hope. That light of hope that became our family’ssuccess. Forty-six years have passed since that day, and we are still workingtogether. My mother says she can’t thank God enough. Today 15 of the 40 plusemployees are family members. My sister Maria has been working since we opened;My beloved wife is my right-hand, and my mother, age 86, still comes to therestaurant every day to check on us. The majority of my family still lives just aroundthe corner from the restaurant. Since we live so close to the restaurant, we can makesure that everything is as it should be. I call it quality control; my mother calls it ablessing.
