The restaurant was founded in 1990 by Martín Sanchez, who moved from Sahuayo in Michoacán to California in 1984, and his wife Conception.

In 2000, the city approved Sanchez's purchase of a lot that was to be used for both commercial and residential use, functioning as a new location for the restaurant and the family's home.

The first major project, two large figures near the front, was created in 2005, with the help of Sanchez's "right-hand man", Ignacio "Nacho" Martinez.
