Good Luck Cafe

Our Story

In the early 1960s Joe Ruben Puentes opened the Good Luck Tavern on Downtown El Paso Street. A couple of years later the tavern was relocated to 3828 Alameda Ave.

In 1968, in an old renovated gas station directly across the street, Mr. Puentes opened the "original" Good Luck Cafe. In 1972, Mrs. Elvira G. Puentes quit her job at the old Newberry's downtown and joined her husband in the daily operations of the family business.

The daily operations not only serve as the core of the family business, but also as a memorial to Mr. Puentes, whose untimely death occurred in 1976.
