History

Established in 1946.

El Nibble Nook was established in 1946 by John and Elizabeth Stephenson. Then called simply «The Nibble Nook», it was a small little place where diners could enjoy great home cooked meals for low prices. The Stephensons would often close the restaurant in the dead of winter and retreat to Acapulco, Mexico for some rest and relaxation in the Mexican sun. It was here that they developed a long-​lasting relationship with a local Mexican Family that operated a small little retreat called «Motel Gloria».

The delicious Mexican foods that Gloria would prepare gave them inspiration to do the same style of cooking North of the border. One year upon their return from their Mexican migration the Stephensons decided to make Tuesdays «Mexican Day». The overwhelming success fueled by authentic recipes from Acapulco, imported Mexican cooks, and the development of a truly fantastic Marguerita, soon made Tuesdays the busiest night of the week.
