La Familia

“Las Chiquillas” means the girls. As in: dad's girls.

History, tradition, family: the three words that matter most to the Arceo family from Jalisco, Mexico. More than 25 years ago, Abelardo Arceo, his wife Francisca (“Pachita”) and a few of his brothers came to the Walla Walla Valley with a hard-work ethic and big dreams, and opened La Casita right here at 428 Ash Street.

Today the torch belongs to their three daughters. Same family recipes, plenty of new dishes, and a fresh new look.

You'll feel the family in the room, the color on the walls, and the rhythm of the place. Norma's love of dance runs through all of it, right down to our logo: folklórico skirts, mid-spin.

Enjoy your time at our house.
