History

Established in 1956.

In 1955 the Rojas family made its move to Boyle Heights, where it would be known as El Tepeyac Café, now the home of the ever famous "Manuel Special" - - the Five pound burrito! Now 76 years old and at a time where many would be retired, Manuel starts up the kitchen at 3AM, 7 days a week and sticks around for breakfast through lunch doing what he loves best, welcomes everyone with a kiss for the ladies and a hug for the men. His appreciation and adoration for his friends and customers continues through 4 generations. There have been many imitators but, there is only one Manuel's Original El Tepeyac. Future expansion is being discussed and wherever it may be, Manuel will be there to assist in carrying on the tradition that has become an icon to the City of Los Angeles.
