“It is no secret that I am true to my Mexican roots, and I love great Mexican food,” Lopez said in a news release (via The Sun). “It has been a dream of mine for many years to open a restaurant, but it had to be a chill kind of place with great food, made to order, in a bitchin environment that celebrates my heritage.
“Chingon Kitchen is all that and I am excited to partner with San Manuel Casino to open my first restaurant. After all, Chingon does mean bad …!”
