Other Details:
The Armadillo is more than a family-oriented restaurant---its a family-made restaurant! The history of The Armadillo begins deep in the roots of northern Mexico, where a beautiful young woman was a fantastic cook---perhaps TOO good a cook.Great Great Grandmother Luisa was living at a Hacienda in Chihuahua (Central northern Mexico) when she was kidnapped by renowned bandit Pancho Villa after sampling some of her cooking. Unwilling to part with such fresh, delicious food, Pancho Villa took our grandmother and her young daughter and integrated them as part of his horseback posse. Luisa served as a faithful cook on his gravy train for 4 and a half years during the1920s. Pancho Villa was very good to our grandmother and her daughter throughout her captivity, and eventually released the two women so that her daughter could attend school.When the daughter was grown, she met Great Grandpa Magdaleno Lucio, a dashing young Mexican man who had hopped the border at the age of 12 and supported himself with odd jobs. They had three children together, one of them a son named Joseph, who purchased the LaSalle Hotel and Bar in LaSalle, Colorado using every spare penny saved from his career as a barber. He decided to rename it The Armadillo Club.
