Our story

Three generations of the Cantú Fernández family, from a taco stand in General Bravo to a stop on the highway.

Florentino Cantú and Juana Alicia Fernández, founders of Los Ahijados. Their portrait welcomes guests at the restaurant entrance.

Los Ahijados was born in 1987 in General Bravo, Nuevo León, when the Cantú Fernández family decided to share their cooking and traditions through a small taco stand. Over time it became a restaurant known for its Mexican food, its warmth and its family atmosphere.

In 1995 the business grew with a roadside stop on the Cadereyta–Reynosa highway, at km 98.5, with a restaurant and a store to serve travelers.

Today Los Ahijados is a family business spanning three generations, proud of its roots and its regional flavor, and still a meeting point for anyone looking for good food and hospitality on the road.
