About

DON BONIFACIO GONZALEZ

Don Bonifacio Gonzalez grew up in Guadalajara Jalisco, where the authentic Birria originated from. He moved to the states in the 1930s to make his dream of starting his own Birrieria a reality.


The secret family recipe that everybody loved has stayed in his family for over 100 years and was passed down to him when he was little from his uncle. In 1972, he finally opened his first restaurant Birrieria Jalisco in Boyle Heights, California to share this amazing dish to the people in California.


Don Bonifacio Gonzalez’s favorite saying was “Me Dicen el Sabroso” and he dedicated his life to share his love for authentic Birria and to improve the Birrieria experience to the local community. The Birrieria was a success and to this day the authentic delicacy is loved and enjoyed by customers who come and visit.


After Don Bonifacio Gonzalez passed away in year 2000, his authentic taste of Birria has been passed down to the new Birrieria De Don Boni. We continue to share the passion of Don’s excellence in customer service and friendly atmosphere to make every meal memorable, and get a taste of Jalisco.
