Jay has been in the hospitality industry for over 50 years, helping at his parents’ Dairy Queen when he was 8. He gained an appreciation for Tex-Mex cuisine working as a manager for a Mexican restaurant chain for 9 years. He had his eye on the location where Casa Rio now thrives, since 1989 when it was a butcher shop. He watched a couple of other restaurants try to give it a go in the spot, without success, and in 2010, he decided to bring the location to life with the vibrant flavors of Casa Rio.2
