Established in 2016 in the heart of the Central Valley in Fresno, by Chef Mauricio Arizola and his wife Lilian Arizola. Señor Ají was creatively designed from scratch, where 'señor' means mister and 'Ají' (pronounced “ah-hee”) a reference to the Peruvian yellow pepper “ají amarillo” (which technically is mislabeled because it’s orange), this chili in particular is the base of many Peruvian dishes. The Arizola's had long imagined opening Señor Ají. Mauricio as a petroleum engineer loves to cook, having grown up with his mom’s home cooking, and Lilian had studied hospitality management. Chef Mauricio loves to cook and they received a lot of complements from their friends to open a restaurant every time when they tried his dishes.
