Gregorio Ambrosio was my good and faithfull friend and just a great, hardworking guy, he created this restaurant after the site was Neslie’s for a long time. Gregorio was a young Jockey from Mexico City who worked at Tanforan Racing Track. I told him earnestly and repeatedly that I thought he should put up a Horse as a Motif, since he made his money riding horses as a Jockey at Tanforan Race Track – He did this and the rest was history. Everyone loves the horse statue and I remember him fondly whenever I drive by. Gregorio is gone now and there is a new owner who still keeps quality food and service. but, I remember you Gregorio. He is there in spirit.
Teanies followed suit with the statues and fun advertising art. I grew up in the area and went often to Teanie’s Store. My uncle used to call Mr. T. (affectionately) “Shorty”. He was a sweet, very short, Italian man. Shorty’s store is back in spirit too.
