Currently, Don Julio Restaurant Group operates seven establishments across Central Florida, encompassing a diverse range of dining concepts, from the Don Julio Mexican Kitchen & Tequila Bar to the Hot Taco Street Taqueria, Pisco Peruvian Gastrobar, and Pisco Express.

The grand opening ceremony drew a distinguished crowd of elected officials, local dignitaries, and esteemed guests. Florencio Rodríguez and Patricia Quintero, key figures behind the company’s success, were honored with various awards and proclamations in recognition of their contributions to job creation and economic development in the region.

Notable attendees included Maribel Gómez Cordero, Commissioner of Orange County; Víctor Torres Jr., Florida Senator; Johanna López, Florida State Representative; and Pedro Turushina, President of the Hispanic Chamber of Commerce of Orlando (HCCMO), among others.
