Dan Defossey, a former Apple employee, left his job to open a Bbq Restaurant in Mexico City called Pinche Gringo. Despite having no experience in the restaurant industry, Defossey and his friend Roberto Luna opened their first location in an airstream in 2013. They initially struggled with low sales and poor-tasting food, but a positive review from a local reporter helped boost their business. Since then, the Groupo Chilango Gringo, which now operates seven restaurants, including the Pinche Gringo BBQ warehouse, has seen significant success, with over $9 million in sales in 2022. Defossey aims to continue expanding while maintaining a positive and welcoming culture among his staff.
