Don Pedro Mexican Restaurant has become a Southside institution since opening its' doors in 1968. Operating for over 40 years, the restaurant currently employs more than 150 full and part time workers serving over 12,500 customers on average per week. Don Pedro has added a new 3800 square foot dining room with a full bar, bringing the total seating capacity to 350 guests. Owned by the Sepulveda family, Ruben Sepulveda Sr. started as a waiter along side his wife, Leticia, head chef in the kitchen, after arriving in San Antonio with their three young sons in 1972 from Monterrey, Mexico. In Monterrey, the couple had owned a 200-cattle dairy farm and had dreams of a better life for their children in the United States. When more than one half of their cattle succumbed to disease, the Sepulveda family decided the time was ripe for the move to the U.S. Just six years later in 1979, the dream of a better life became more of a reality when they became full owners of Don Pedro.
