The original restaurant opened in 1946 along Highway 101 (now Camino Capistrano) about a quarter-mile southeast of the Mission. It was an 18-seat diner with a gas station that provided a convenient and popular stop for travelers passing through on their trip between San Diego and Los Angeles.
The restaurant flourished and, in 1960, moved to a larger location next to the Mission (shown in the accompanying photo).
