Jesus “Chuy” Ortiz was born in the small town of Degollado, Jalisco in 1954. Chuy is the third of seventeen sons born to Carlos and Isidra Ortiz. In 1972, he came to the United States looking for the “American Dream” and after struggling for so many years, he found it! Together with his wife and three children, he opened the doors to El Pescador #12, Fillmore in 2006. His biggest mission is to provide his customers with that warm feeling of eating at grandma’s house, and at his grandma’s house there was always a surplus of TEQUILA! Chuy spends most of his time working and pouring tequila shots, but when he’s not, he loves to babysit his two granddaughters (Emma and Xaila) and two grandsons (Fernando and Isaac).
