Russell Ybarra is the Founder and CEO of Gringo’s Mexican Kitchen & Jimmy Changas restaurants. Russell started his restaurant career in the kitchen washing dishes and learning first-hand all facets of the foodservice industry. He caught the entrepreneurial spirit early and started El Matador Foods in , a tortilla factory in Baytown, Texas. Gringo’s Tex-Mex came to life in when Russell had the opportunity to branch out on his own, taking over a building in Pearland that had been home to four other failed restaurant concepts. Russell applied his philosophy of serving the highest quality Tex-Mex at the lowest price possible to the new venture. The community responded and has allowed Russell, along with his 2, team members, to expand the company to 23 locations, including four other concepts – Jimmy Changas, Bullritos®, The Lunch Box and Burger Libre with two more Gringo’s locations currently in development, Tomball and Kyle, Texas.
