We have a long and storied History!
Chalo's Casa Reynoso restaurant was established in 1969 in Globe, Arizona by Chalo Reynoso and Juanita Reynoso, husband and wife. Globe is located in southeastern Arizona. It is a mining town that was founded in 1870 by silver miners. In 1907 it became the City of Globe. Chalo Reynoso's mother, Salustia Rodrigues came to this area from Marfa, Texas (hometown of the movie GIANT) in 1926, with her mother after her father's death. Her mother owned and operated a cooking and cleaning service for the local miners. This is how Salustia met and married Pedro Reynoso. They had nine children together. The fifth child born was christened Gonzalo Rodrizuez Reynoso (nickname in Spanish is Chalo). In 1946, Salustia's older sister opened a restaurant and offered her sister a job. A few years later Salustia's sister moved to the Phoenix area and left the restaurant to Salustia and Pedro. They leased the restaurant until 1949 and then decided to relocate. They purchased a downtown building in 1949 and started doing business. Their children contributed in any way they could. Chalo Reynoso helped with the family business until he enlisted in the Marines in 1953. He was honorably discharged and returned to Globe in 1956 where he met and married Juanita Barela. In 1957 they had their first child: Gonzalo Anthony Reynoso. Juanita continued to follow in the Reynoso family tradition by assisting in Chalo's mother's restaurant. In the summer of 1969, Chalo and Jaunita decided to purchase their own business and named it Chalo's Restaurant. They ran the business for 25 years and decided to hand over the day to day management over to their eldest son Gonzalo Reynoso Jr. They also updated the name to include the second and third generation of Reynoso's now in the restaurant business: Chalo's Casa Reynoso. As you can see by the menu, there is a great variety of excellent traditional and non-traditional Mexican food dishes. They family recipe dates back to the late forties and with such original and flavorful dishes, Chalo's Casa Reynoso has truly become "Famous for Everything."
