Our history

San Francisco, 1946

When Diego Lopez came to the United States from Guanajuato, Mexico with his wife and children, he came with hope and the American dream in his heart. Five decades later, Diego and his children own and operate one of the most well-known and highly successful groups of Mexican restaurants in Orange and Los Angeles Counties, which is widely known as Firmino.

It all started in the kitchen many years ago. Diego and his wife Maria brought their recipes that have been in their families for generations, paying strict attention to freshness and quality. Diego had the idea to involve the whole family and create a truly special restaurant. The entire family pitched in and helped when the first restaurant when it opened in the area in 1966 with only five picnic tables. Each and every family member offered a helping hand.

Today, the long-standing tradition that has made their authentic Mexican cooking legendary continues to be served at the family's thirteen restaurants. It is still a family business, family owned, family operated and family loved. Diego and Maria eventually shared the responsibility of running the restaurant with their children and now their grandchildren. Each restaurant is under the personal care of a family member, guaranteeing the reputation the family has earned for treating the customers "like part of the family."

Helping to complete the family's recipe of success is the personal atmosphere and warm welcome from familiar employees at each of the restaurants. Many employees help other family members throughout the USA while serving tasty Mexican food.
