El Chico at JBR
True to tradition and an innovator of new tastes, El Chico is the Mexican food original, a legend since 1940.The history of El Chico began in 1926 when Adelaida “Mama” Cuellar’s homemade tamales drew crowds at a country fair outside Dallas. With the help of her 12 children she opened a small café and in 1940 five of her sons moved their mother’s kitchen to Oak Lawn in Dallas and named the restaurant, El Chico.
El Chico offers great Mexican food with constant innovations. Each restaurant reflects sixty years of changing tastes and styles and customised guests’ preferences.
