A little about Ulises…

“Is this your first restaurant?” is a question that we often hear. While this is our first owned restaurant, our combined careers in the business span over 25 years. In high school Ulises worked as a dishwasher at a Marriott hotel followed by a job waiting tables at Mama’s Café on Westheimer. He worked 10 years with the Pappas family where he met Maria who was working for Pappasito’s. His positions with Pappasito’s Cantina included waiter, bartender, floor manager and kitchen manager. As part of the “opening team” he helped open multiple stores across Texas.

Later he worked with Carrabba’s Italian Grill, DoubleTree Hotels, Au Bon Pain Caribbean, and The Palm Restaurant. At the Palm, he was General Manager in San Juan, Puerto Rico and then Regional Director of Operations overseeing eight Palm restaurants across the western US.

His dream has always been to open his own restaurant and in October 2006, with the help of family and lots of prayer, we did just that. To say that it has been a whirlwind adventure is an understatement…but you have to be a little “loco” to be in this business and that suits us just fine. :)

From all of us at Eden Café thank you for your continued patronage. We sincerely wish you a Safe and Happy New Year!!!

Looking forward to serving you in 2008…
Ulises & Maria

Construction Directions
We realize that the construction on 1488 can be inconvenient so try coming the back way.

From Woodlands Parkway:
Take Woodlands Parkway to 2978 and turn right. While on 2978 make a right onto Egypt Lane at the light. Circle around behind the construction of the new Target anchored Westwood Village Shopping Center and we will be on your right hand side after passing Ellisor Elementary School. This route allows you to completely avoid the 1488 traffic congestion.

From Lake Windcrest Area:
If coming from 1488 near Lake Windcrest make a right onto Tamina Road then turn left onto 2978 and then right onto Egypt Lane. That way you miss the 1488/2978 traffic congestion.
