Owner Maria Aguilar, whose mother started the restaurant in 1968, has sold the business to a group with two other San Jose locations.
Nothing last forever, even a San Jose institution like the restaurant Casa Vicky. Owner Maria Aguilar told me this week that she had sold the business, which has been on the corner of Julian and North 17th streets since 1989 and has roots that go back much further.
Despite some neighborhood concerns, Tequila’s, ironically, doesn’t appear to sell its namesake spirit, instead providing beer and wine at its other locations. Aguilar’s mother, Victoria Aragon, opened Vicky’s Cafe in downtown San Jose in 1968 and then Casa Vicky on Market Street a few years later, which moved to the Tropicana shopping center in 1975. Aguilar said she’s been an employee since her mom started the business and has been its owner since 1979. She opened Casa Vicky’s on Market Street a few years later, and relocated to the Tropicana shopping center on King Road in 1975.
Last year, Casa Vicky was one of 25 restaurants in the country to receive a $40,000 grant from a National Trust for Historic Preservation program this month to help smaller, historic restaurants make improvements to recover from the economic fallout of the COVID-19 pandemic. The grant went toward improving the building’s outdoor lighting and patio seating, as well as the awning and wrought iron fencing.
