History

It was started as a small family-owned restaurant in 1969. Since then, they have expanded into a chain of restaurants.[5] The chain ran into financial trouble in 2011, filing for Chapter 7 bankruptcy, they were purchased by Southwest Brands.[6]

Specialties

Garduño's is known for their large plates of Mexican and New Mexican foods, as well their large margaritas and various alcohols.[7][8]

Reception

They have received accolades in both their home state of New Mexico, and their Las Vegas Valley locations.[9][10]

They moved from their original location at the Palms Casino Resort, to the current location at Station Casinos' Fiesta Rancho, between those two locations they've been voted the Las Vegas Review-Journal "Best Mexican Restaurant" consecutively for nearly 20 years.[11] Fiesta Rancho eventually replaced their Garduño's location with a California-based fusion food chain, called Culichi Town. [12]

Their location at Winrock Shopping Center was featured in Breaking Bad.[13]
