My roommate enjoys knowing random facts, so one day when we walked passed Trujillo’s she decided to tell me the history of how the Trujillo name actually has a somewhat negative connotation, so I decided to hack it. While I’m assuming that the Mexican restaurant chain isn’t named after Rafael Trujillo himself, this man was the dictator of the Dominican Republic from 1891-1961. He came to power by political maneuvering and torture, and he was assassinated in 1961.
