Born out of a mother’s love for cooking, Big Madre Tacos y Tortas focuses on family and tradition. Every recipe, from the marinades to the salsas, beans and rice, and the handmade flour tortillas, was honed over decades by GHRA’s chef, “Captain” Glenn Cates. An executive chef with some 50 years of experience, Cates learned from the very best — his madre!

We had a idea to create a food service program for our members. We believed an Authentic Mexican food offering would benefit the consumer and our members best. We spent the entire year perfecting our authentic Mexican food recipes and menu. Our goal was to create something that would blow the consumer away with quality. We did just that. From our proprietary recipe salsa’s to our angus beef fajita tacos.
