Matthew Ramondo, boyfriend of daughter Briana, Voctor Almodovar, his wife Rocio and son Michael
"The Pepe’s located at 867 North State Street, Chicago, was the location on January 16th, 1977 that I took my future wife Rocio, for our first date.” The State Street Pepe’s is no longer there, but our family did celebrate our 40th An- niversary at the 4610 North Harlem Pepe’s in Harwood Heights. Victor Almodovar wanted to surprise his wife and make the family dinner a memory lane trip back to their first date in 1977. Victor is very thankful that Rocio said ‘Yes” when he asked her to dinner for their first date. Rocio was his high school sweetheart.
Victor thought the Anniversary dinner was spectacular. He indicated the service was extra special too, helping to make the dinner one to remember.
Congratulations, Harwood, for making this evening so special for the Almodovars. You made the Pepe family very proud of you. We’re sure you will see the Almodovar family again very soon.
Victor Almodovar emailed Pepe’s President, Bob Ptak, to thank the whole crew of the Harlem Pepe’s Mexican Restaurant for a great dinner and a great time.
