About Tres Amigos Cantina
Tres Amigos Cantina of Brandon, FL ( www.tresamigosbrandon.net ) was established in 2008 after the previous restaurant, Don Pablo's, closed its doors in 2007. Larry Fraioli, a real estate businessman from New York, worked with the three former Don Pablo's managers, Joe Morales, Anthony Mundi, and Andrew Purdy, to create a new restaurant and reestablish a hub of great food and great people in the community. About 80 percent of the former Don Pablo's staff regained their jobs and now we are serving better food, better drinks, and having a great time.
