But the Sanchez family and its countless customers over the years, with particularly strong support from the LGBT community, will celebrate with pride – and perhaps some carne asada, chili relleno, enchiladas or fajitas – on Thursday, March 3. Both Cesar's will host a Customer Appreciation Fiesta, featuring the restaurant's original menu and prices from 1991. "This 25th anniversary is bittersweet since he won't be with us to celebrate," Israel said. Cesar's opened March 4, 1991, named after Israel's dad, Cesar, who passed away in 2014. And the key to their survival has been "consistency, resiliency, determination, (and) staying true to what got us here: great service, delicious food and of course, Killer Margaritas," he said. "It's been quite a ride (with) plenty of ups and downs, that's for sure," said Israel Sanchez, the president of Cesar's, who works alongside his sisters (Sandy and Lulu) and his mom (Lourdes). "Dealing with every facet of running a business (has been a challenge), having to wear different hats on a needed basis. We can go from dealing with customers to dealing with a kitchen situation to becoming 'tech support' all in a matter of minutes." Sanchez said opening the second location has certainly been a highlight. There's the Cadillac Margarita or the Orange Passion Pommarita. Of course there are mango, peach, banana, raspberry, strawberry, watermelon, and more margaritas. Broadway. The only real difference between the two is the layout. Otherwise it's the same menu, same recipes, same ingredients. Cheers to Cesar's 25 years at its original location, at 3166 N.
What ya going with, served frozen or on-the-rocks? Salt, chili salt, no salt or sugar rims? Maybe you want a seasonal flavor, or a splash of Midori or Grand Marnier. Pass the nachos and raise that chilled glass, filled with a Killer Margarita – it's time to toast Cesar's, the family-owned restaurant with two Chicago locations.
