Also, although my paternal side was as 'English' [2nd/3rd gen Scot/Welsh immigrant by time I came to be], the grandparents/dad were besties with Greek neighbors, so we went to the bi-annual festival at the Greek Orthodox church.

Chi-Chis started in 1975. The chain followed.
Accoridng to their defunct Facebook, Dos Hombres started in 1980.
All I could find on Patrikios was "1970s". Sounds greek to me...
Here's an interesting article I read a while back about the origins of "Taco Tuesday"
