We are family owned business.

​You could say that Jose and Javier Gonzalez went from the frying pan into the fire.

The two brothers have worked in construction their entire adult lives, and now they are trying their hands at the restaurant business. They've left a recession-plagued business to one in which 9,000 businesses fail every year.

Talk about two tough industries. But the daunting task of owning and operating a Mexican restaurant hasn't stopped them.

With business stagnant, the brothers are taking a new approach for their new restaurant, Aztecas Restaurant and Bar.

​Aztecas Restaurant & Bar - Hacienda Heights.

​

After investing about $110,000 in the establishment on Hacienda Boulevard and Gale Avenue, they're ready to bring in late-night live entertainment and beer and wine to boost business, said Jose Gonzalez, co-owner.

"We have stagnated this whole year," since opening in January, he said. "We are hoping by adding live entertainment we'll add business."

At first the Gonzalez's plan to keep their restaurant open Thursday through Sunday nights until 1:30 a.m. didn't sit well with some members of the Hacienda Heights Improvement Association. But the advisory board to the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors has ironed out its differences with the restaurant owners.​

​Live Entertainment.

​

The HHIA has sent a letter to the county Department of Regional Planning supporting the restaurant's new hours and live entertainment bid, with certain restrictions.The HHIA agreed with the
AdvertisementConditional Use Permit as long as there is no physical bar and that beer and wine are served at tables only. The HHIA also requested the owners take security precautions, such as installing security cameras and employing security personnel, and keep the kitchen open at all times.

​​

Jose Gonzalez said they are already taking steps to comply.

And the restaurant has brought benefits to the community.
