Memo's Restaurant is located right on the banks of the beautiful San Felipe Creek.
Del Rio is the small Texas town in the United States where Memo's Restaurant founder, Guillermo Calderón, together with his wife Leonor, opened a cafe in 1936. Throughout the years, generations of families have come to Memo's Restaurant to enjoy the good food, great music, and beautiful scenery. The Calderón family is proud to continue this tradition at Memo's, the oldest family-owned restaurant in Del Rio, Texas.
Originally named "El Aguila Cafe," Memo's Restaurant was established in 1936 by Guillermo "Memo" and Leonor "None" Calderón. In 1945, Memo bought land on the banks of the San Felipe Creek where he relocated the original building. In 1959, Memo became ill and sold Memo's Drive-Inn to his third son, Moises "Blondie" Calderon. Blondie, piano player and music director for country music legend, Ray Price, from 1967 until his death in 2000, expanded the building, complemented the good food with great music, and developed it into the famous family restaurant it is today.
Blondie?s wife, Dolly, and youngest daughter, Patricia Ray, are keeping the family tradition going.
Memo's Restaurant continues to be a landmark in Del Rio, Texas, attracting people from all over the world.
