Tony's Biography
Tony Moreno was born in May 1956, in a small town called "La Yerbabuena" in the state of Michoacan, Mexico. Tony grew up on a small farm until the age of eleven and then moved to the city, where he attended school and started working as a delivery boy as well as doing many other odd jobs. In December 1973, Tony arrived in the United States. His desire was to first master the English language and, like most immigrants, make enough money to eventually go back home. In 1974, he started working in restaurants, first as a dishwasher, then as a busboy. Later he became a waiter.
Earning his living as a waiter, he started dreaming of owning his own restaurant. Tony grabbed the opportunity to attend school courses such as accounting and some restaurant seminars. He graduated from high school at San Pedro Adult School. In 1984, Tony finally realized a part of his dream and opened his first restaurant, a small place called "Taxco Cafe".
Four years later, he opened "El Gordo Restaurant" located at 240th St. and Western Avenue. In 1989, Tony's big dream came true when he opened his third restaurant, "Taxco Restaurant", on Western Avenue and Capitol in San Pedro.
This venture has been one of Tony's greatest challenges in his life. Tony gives thanks to God, his parents for giving him life, his wife Vini, children, brothers and sisters, and to all his patrons and friends who have contributed to his success.
