Miguel’s Jr. will be handing out slices of cake on Friday, July 18 to celebrate the chain’s 50th anniversary.
The celebration will take place 2-4 p.m. at all of the chain’s 23 locations, according to representatives. The first 50 customers will also get cards good for one free shredded chicken or shredded beef taco with any purchase.
Founder Mary Vasquez will visit the original restaurant at 1039 W. Sixth St., Corona, for the celebration. Her son Javier Vasquez, who is chief executive officer, will join her.
The first Miguel’s Jr. was opened by Mary and her husband Mike Vasquez in 1975. Javier Vasquez said the exact date has been lost to time in a recent interview.
Mike Vasquez died in 2020, but at 82 Mary is still active in the company and appears in TikTok videos. She talks about the menu she created with her husband in a Facebook reel uploaded on July 12.
Recently, the chain began serving french fries and chicken bites in addition to its traditional menu of burritos and tacos. It also launched a line of merchandise.
