Recipient of Congressional Recognition Award by Congresswoman Janice Hahn on September 16, 2014 for 32 years of dedicated service to the San Pedro community. In a statement to the San Pedro Today publication The Original Las Brisas is a San Pedro Landmark November 26, 2014
Gilberto A. De Haro was born in Los Haro Jerez Zacatecas, Mexico in 1949. He began his humble
journey in Mexico City when he started working at his first restaurant at the age of 14. He later
immigrated to the United States and from 1972 to 1982 he worked at Largo's Mitote a very
popular and established Mexican Restaurant in East Los Angeles. It was there where he developed
his passion for cooking. He then pursued the American Dream and opened up his own restaurant.
Gilberto started serving the San Pedro Community in 1982, the year Las Brisas was established. He
takes great pride in his famous Al Pastor Meat, which has 14 secret ingredients in the marinade. To
this day, he continues to serve the one of a kind original recipe, along with his home style Signature Dishes.
It is Gilberto's personal attention, dedication and delicious food that keep his customers coming
back. This is evident in the five generations of families that have been dining at his establishment.
