It was founded in 1910 by Ram\u00f3n Avellana, a Spanish man from Gironella, a small town just North of Barcelona. Ram\u00f3n moved to Mexico in 1906 and brought with him homey recipes, which are still used in the kitchen, and the idea of charcoal roasting the turkeys. The first location was at Palma Street #19. After moving locations twice, Ram\u00f3n\u2019s nephew, Carlos Moreno, is in charge of the restaurant&#8217;s new location, just a couple blocks down, at Palma Street #32 in Mexico City\u2019s historic center.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-20326\" src=\"https:\/\/patijinich.com\/pati_2020\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/el-rey-de-pavo-1-697x1024.jpg\" alt=\"slicing tortas at el rey de pavo\" width=\"640\" height=\"940\" srcset=\"https:\/\/patijinich.com\/pati_2020\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/el-rey-de-pavo-1-697x1024.jpg 697w, https:\/\/patijinich.com\/pati_2020\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/el-rey-de-pavo-1-204x300.jpg 204w, https:\/\/patijinich.com\/pati_2020\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/el-rey-de-pavo-1-768x1129.jpg 768w, https:\/\/patijinich.com\/pati_2020\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/el-rey-de-pavo-1-150x220.jpg 150w, https:\/\/patijinich.com\/pati_2020\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/el-rey-de-pavo-1-600x882.jpg 600w, https:\/\/patijinich.com\/pati_2020\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/el-rey-de-pavo-1.jpg 950w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Walking in you\u2019ll see an open kitchen and lined up are the <em>torteros<\/em> and <em>taqueros<\/em> making turkey tortas and tacos by the dozen.
