History for the Preservationist:
The restaurant's origin was Adelaida "Mama" Cuellar's popular homemade tamales at a Texas county fair in 1926. Two years later, Cuellar opened Cuellar's Cafe in Kaufman, Texas. Her sons opened a cafe in Dallas using her recipes. The 11th Cuellar restaurant was located at Six Flags Over Texas amusement park, which was owned by Adelaida Cuellar's husband's employer, Angus Wynne. Today, it is part of Consolidated Restaurant Operations, Inc. (CRO). Joe V. Carvajal was an integral part of the success of many of the el Chico restaurants in the 1960s and 70's. He introduced the sopapilla to Tex-Mex and American cuisine.
