History

Established in 2006.

Once upon a wine, El Carajo was a humble gas station. Thirty years ago, the 1st generation Fonseca father and sons team joined forces to start a family business. The success of the business afforded Richard, one of the sons, the ability to travel and learn about innumerable cultures and customs. He became enamored with the extensive and eclectic collections of wines from around the world. His desire to share his love of wine drove him to provide a wide selection of global wines in his hometown business in 1989. His love of wine led to his love of food, particularly delicious Spanish Tapas. In 2011, the El Carajo Bakery Café opened, bringing the same excellent experience and quality offered in the restaurant, with style and convenience for those on the go.
