How it all started

Since day one Vallejo's has been a family affair. Owned and primarily operated by brothers Arturo and Efrain Vallejo along with a half dozen nieces and nephews.

How ever in the beginning it started with the vision of Arturo Vallejo. Every since a young boy he could remember loving his mothers home made authentic cooking with rich aromas of flavor and spices.  Being part of a large family and one of eleven kids, Arturo, or Art went to join the work force as a young boy where got his taste and experience of the restaurant business starting out as a bus boy. He quickly proved him self to be a natural and made his way through all the ranks of the business. In 1983 he took his experience and opened his first Deli in midtown Sacramento.

As he gained his footing and business begun to flourish recruited and enlisted the help of his younger brother to help expand. Over 35 years later Vallejo's Restaurant has grown to be a household name in Sacramento and continues to to be a staple in the community serving the same authentic recipes and giving back to the community in various ways.
