About
Once upon a time a world class cyclist had to choose between representing his county in the Tour de France, and coming to America. The Tour’s loss was Pittsburg’s gain.
Guillermo Muñiz left Guadalajara in the late 1960s to eventually become the proprietor of, arguably, the best-known Mexican restaurant in America (just ask any Major League baseball player!)
From working two full-time jobs—at the local cannery and at the original Mecca—Guillermo has gone on to become the caterer of choice to the Oakland Athletics (bet you didn’t know their full name), the San Francisco Giants and 49ers, and the MLB All-Star Games when they were in The City (’84) and in Oakland (’87)!
