“Fine Mexican food, fast”

It started in 1994: A renowned chef, known for creating innovative inspired California cuisine, and an experienced fast food operator joined together. The two worked hard on the first menu, which included some crazy ideas like Lamb Colorado, Goat Cheese Quesadillas and a Thai burrito. Then, they created the Industrial Strength Margarita™ that made one’s feet tingle. They used organic greens, natural pork, chicken breast and fresh produce. These high quality and seasonal ingredients led to daily and nightly specials that would always change and never be the same. On April 11, 1994, they introduced Willow Glen to Aqui Cal-Mex.
