Fermin's Restaurant

About

World War 2 Veteran, Fermin Vasquez, opened a modest grocery store named Short Stop Grocery in September 1968. Fermin’s wife, Vicky, noticed several students from the nearby Sudderth Elementary School would stop in to buy items during their off-campus lunch time. Having her own children to feed, she decided the students needed a home cooked meal, too. Her lunch menu consisted of menudo, hamburgers, frito pies, chili dogs, and various burritos. Much to her surprise, the students began to bring their parents in the evening to sample the same savory menu. After the passing of Vicky in 1993 and Fermin in 2011, their legacy has been carried on by their daughter Elidia (Lily) O'Harrow, who continues to be the matriarch of Fermin’s Restaurant.
