At Tres Hombres Mexican Grill and Cantina, it's not uncommon that your Grandpa introduced you to this place and now you're bringing your kids here. And since Tres Hombres is coming up on their 30th anniversary, we thought we would give you a glimpse of the history of Tres Hombres. The original Tres Hombres building was at the west end of the current parking lot back in 1984. The current building of Tres was previously an old carpet warehouse called "Carpet Town." Tres was remolded starting in October 1998 and were back in business in March 1999. The sign originally belonged to Carpet Town and was of the three owners holding carpet rolls. When they bought the building they updated the sign and added sombreros to the three guys. The signs stands today as a local landmark. The name was inspired from the 1973 ZZ Top album, Tres Hombres. Don and Mike had the pleasure of meeting ZZ Top at one of their catering event at Fairpark, SLC!
