History

Italian immigrants Cesare and Alessandro Cardini founded the restaurant. During U.S. Prohibition in the 1920s, visitors arrived from Southern California in large numbers; jazz and Caesar salad were part of the restaurant’s early experience. Around 1930, the salad appeared on a menu as “Romaine Parmigian Dressing”, priced at 50 cents. Cardini’s service style and culinary school influenced former employees, leaving a legacy still traceable in Tijuana. The Avakian family continues to own the property.

  2. 1924July 4, 1924 — Caesar Cardini is credited with creating Caesar salad.
  3. 1931The Cardinis moved the restaurant to a larger building with hotel rooms for overnight visitors.
