Neighbors feel at home at La Casita

For 47 years Evangelina Castillo has been living her dream. She is the owner of Las Casita Mexican Restaurant.

"It never crossed my mind that I wasn’t going to make it," Castillo said. "We have survived this long because we have never changed the recipes. They are the same from when we started."

La Casita opened in 1976 in a small room built by Castillo’s husband, Paul. It only had space for three tables and it was located right outside her home.

"She could walk from her back door to her kitchen," One customer remembers.

"There was nothing out here but oil field roads, there was nobody out here." Daughter Rita Dickens said.

The restaurant is now a family business with Castillo’s daughter and grandchildren working, and next year fourth generation family members will join the staff.

"When anyone says La Casita, I would say its family, family cooking, family togetherness and family time."
