About the Business

Specialties

Border Regional Mexican Food, Great Service, Fun Atmosphere, and Ice Cold Beer. A Family Tradition Since 1927!

History

Established in 1927.

Back in the days of " the Great Depression", Antonio Flores established what would then become a well known, respected family oriented business. The year 1927 marked the opening of Tony's Place. In 1968, Antonio and Juanita's daughter, Lilia Duran and her husband, John Duran, took over Tony's Place and renamed it L & J Cafe. The letters "L" and "J" are for the first initials of Lilia and John. They are also for the initials of their children Leo, John, and Lilia (Becky). After John's passing away on December 11th, 1987, third generation son, Leo Duran and his wife, Frances, assumed the responsibility of maintaining the restaurant's legacy and continue to do so to this day. Leo's mom, Lilia, continued to lend her guidance and support until her passing away in March of 1999.
