| | El Restaurante Mexicano | Green Corn Tamales | Spring 2002 |
 | | That's because the restaurants' green corn tamales, introduced by founders Rosa and Alejandro Borquez in 1923 and served only from May through October, have become a signature dish, according to Ron Salisbury, Alejandro's grandson and president of The Restaurant Business Inc. of La Habra, Calif., which owns four El Cholo restaurants. |
 | | Green corn tamales were born in the frugal days of the early 20th century in Globe, Ariz., where the Borquez family lived prior to moving to Los Angeles. |
 | | The green corn tamales proved a sensation when the family introduced them almost 80 years ago at the Sonora Cafe, their first restaurant in Los Angeles that was named after their home state of Sonora, Mexico. |
