New eateries in town - News Article Locations on Waymarking.com

"Alejandro Ruelas graduated last year from George Fox University with a degree in nursing, but when he moved back to his hometown of Klamath Falls he had something a little different in mind.

“I went to college and I saw a lot of these deals (restaurants), and then I came back and (my family) said they wanted to open something,” Ruelas said.

Now Ruelas is the proud owner of Chilitos restaurant, a build-your-own meal, Chipotle-style Mexican restaurant opening this week.

Ruelas’ father, Rafael Galvan, and his uncle, Elias Galvan, have had at least 15 years of experience in the restaurant industry, and are working with Ruelas to run the business.

The three are putting the finishing touches on the former coffee shop before it opens. They have installed new appliances for the kitchen, including a shiny new hood over the grills.

The menu includes various options for choosing entrees, proteins, fillings and extras.

“We wanted to bring something different to Klamath,” Ruelas said. “There’s not necessarily a place to walk up and build your own meal. We’re just keeping it simple with homemade recipes.”

Ruelas said he looks forward to balancing a nursing career and owning the restaurant.

“I am an RN,” Ruelas said. “I should be doing both for a little bit, just to try them. It will be a busy year.”
