The Munoz family came to Bakersfield in 1913 from Aguascalientes. Eventually they started breaking into the restaurant business, and now those restaurants can be found throughout Bakersfield.

BAKERSFIELD, Calif. (KERO) â A piece of Bakersfield history is no longer there. The building that housed the historic Sinaloa Mexican Restaurant for nearly 70 years has been torn down.
Sinaloa closed its doors back in 2019 after the family running the business lost a loved one.
The original Sinaloa opened in May of 1948 as Sinaloa Spanish Food on 19th Street where Wool Growers is currently located. In 1957 the restaurant moved to the corner of 20th and P Street. Prior to the family purchasing the building, it was an orphanage called The Kern County Children s Center.
