Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On April 2, 2010, Real Mex Restaurants, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into Amendment No. 5 (the “Amendment”) to the Second Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Agreement, dated as of January 29, 2007, by and among the Company, the other borrowers party thereto, the lenders party thereto and General Electric Capital Corporation, as agent and administrative agent (the “Senior Secured Credit Facility”). The Senior Secured Credit Facility provides for a $15.0 million revolving credit facility and a $25.0 million letter of credit facility.

The Amendment to the Senior Secured Credit Facility modified certain definitions in order to allow the transfer of shares in the Company’s parent company, RM Restaurant Holding Corp. (“Holdco”), within current stockholders of Holdco. No such amendment was required related to our senior secured notes due 2013 as a result of such transfer.

The foregoing description of the Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full texts the Amendment, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated by reference in this Item 1.01.

Item 5.02 Departure of Directors of Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

Effective April 7, 2010, Evan Geller and Doug Tapley resigned from the Company’s Board of Directors and Clarence E. Terry and Michael Alger were appointed as directors of the Company. Mr. Terry and Mr. Alger are employed by Sun Capital Partners, Inc. which is an affiliate of stockholders of Holdco. Mr. Terry and Mr. Alger have both served as board members for the Company in the past. There are no other arrangements or understandings between any of the new directors and any other person pursuant to which the new directors were appointed to the Board of Directors of the Company. Furthermore, none of the new directors are a party to any transactions that would require disclosure pursuant to Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K. None of the new directors will be compensated for serving as a director of the Company; however each will be reimbursed for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in connection with his travel to and attendance at meetings of the Board of Directors and the committees thereof.
