Don Perico's

Wanting to pursue a better life for himself, Gabino left his town of El Salitre, Zacatecas, Mexico and headed to the United States of America. Finding himself in California, he entered the restaurant business and started as a waiter at a restaurant named "El Barrilito". Little did he know what would become of this.

A few years later, El Barrilito closed their doors and the doors reopened as "Don Perico" with Gabino as a Manager. In 1996, Gabino took over as the new proud owner of Don Perico Mexican and Seafood restaurant. Don Perico thrived and twenty-four years later, a second location opened on Hageman road.
