Description
Chico’s is a small local restaurant chain based in El Paso, Texas. It was founded on July 4, 1953 by local boxing promoter Joe Mora. Long considered a local institution in El Paso, it is perhaps the city’s best-known restaurant, having even been featured in the Food Network show, The Best Thing I Ever Ate. It was also a topic of the Gabriel Iglesias stand up act, I’m not Fat… I’m Fluffy.
Chico’s has entered into local legend for its rolled tacos in a special tomato soup-like sauce,[3] as well as its low prices. Other items on the menu include hamburgers, French fries, grilled cheese sandwiches (or as Chicos Tacos employees often refer to them as “grillos”), and special round hot dogs served on hamburger buns. Originally located at 4230 Alameda Avenue on El Paso’s south side, Chico’s has since expanded to five El Paso locations, primarily on the town’s east side. Since Mora’s death in 1992, the restaurants have been run by his surviving children.
