History

Established in 2006.

Each restaurant is a love story. Our locations are an extension of the connection and respect we feel for one another and the food we share. Besito was founded by restaurateur John Tunney after years of travel in Mexico working to understand its cuisine and its people. The spirit of Mexico is found in its flavors and In 2006, when he opened his first location, he knew he was embarking on something special, something that would become not only a unique dining experience, but a family and cultural experience. Our passion for extraordinary food is what inspired Besito, but it's the people, both our team members and our guests, that have breathed a special life into each location. Their devotion and spirit is what gives Besito heart.

John T.

Business Owner

For nearly three decades John J. Tunney, III has shared his passion for hospitality with guests from Las Vegas to Long Island.  With his unwavering energy, meticulous attention to detail and vibrant personality, Tunney has created some of the most successful restaurant properties in the country.    What Tunney has managed to master is the culture of cuisine... the ability to pull the most authentic elements of Mexico and present them to a public with style, humility and a relentless dedication to service.  At Besito it has been about things large and small - a vibrant set of colors, enormous photographs, bountiful dishes, but also worry dolls presented at the end of each meal and churros to go compliments of the house.  "Today business owners often try to just get by instead of go above and beyond with their customers... I want them [guests] to be blown away and we're able to do that because of the incredibly talented group of people who are part of the Besito team," says Tunney.
