“Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Mi Nidito and its owners, Jimmy and Ernie Lopez. Mi Nidito, the Lopez family's restaurant, has been a staple in Tucson for 72 years. Jimmy and Ernie's grandparents, Ernesto and Alicia Lopez, first opened the restaurant doors in 1952. Since then, the Lopez family has tirelessly upheld Mi Nidito's legacy for three generations. Arizonans and visitors from across the country and around the world have stood in line for hours to get a taste of their renowned chile rellenos and enchilada-style burritos, as well. Over the last seven decades, Mi Nidito has also had some notable guests, including then-President Bill Clinton, who visited the restaurant in 1999. As Jimmy and Ernie begin a well-deserved retirement, Laura and I want to thank them and the entire Lopez family for their contributions to our community. Salpointe Girls Basketball”
