Ignacio Anaya García was a Mexican maître d'hotel who invented the popular Tex-Mex dish nachos at the Victory Club restaurant a couple miles from the border of Texas in Mexico in 1943. After nachos grew in popularity, Anaya was promoted to chef, and he eventually started his own restaurant in the 1960s.
