“Twenty-two years ago, Rodrigo Sanchez opened the first El Tequileño Family Mexican Restaurant in Arvada with just fourteen employees.
Today, he owns four, including one on Aurora’s Havana Street which opened in 2006. This May, a fifth is expected to open in Westminster.
Which begs the question: With both fine dining establishments and humble family run spots alike closing up shop amid a challenging business environment recently, what’s the secret to Sanchez’s success?
Perhaps it has something to do with the fact that twelve of his original fourteen employees still work for the company. And of the more than 150 employees he has today, more than fifty have been with him for a decade or longer.
“Our secret is to treat our employees like family because if you treat the employees good, they’ll take care of the business,” Sanchez says.
Sure, that’s probably a big part of it. But there’s got to be more to it than that. Perhaps it’s as simple as just serving good food that people want in a welcoming environment. Or maybe it’s just lots and lots of tequila shots.”
