Viviano and Faye Sales opened Salas Restaurant in 1957.
Hello, my name is Faye Salas. My late husband, Vivanio, and I opened Salas’ restaurant on Sheridan and Gore in 1957 across from Wayne's Drive-In. We expanded and built the current restaurant on Lee Blvd in the 1970s. Salas’ has always been a family business. Many of you remember my husband, mother, “Mama”, my two daughters, grandchildren, nieces and nephews working at the restaurant over the years. For the last twenty years, I leased the business to Tony Salas, my deceased husband’s half-brother, who has since moved on to a new restaurant. In May 2015, I placed the restaurant under the original family management.
