Elizabeth Galaviz with Casa Galaviz Mexican Food in Denton Texas

Casa Galaviz is a family restaurant in Denton Texas. I met the owner Jose Galaviz, who was kind to introduce me to his family who works at the restaurant. It was a busy Saturday morning and everybody was preparing or serving breakfast. Jose's wife, Elizabeth Galaviz is originally from Piedras Negras, Coahuila. Her daughter, Jessica Mendez is from Denton, Texas.

Elizabeth moved from Mexico to North Texas when she was eighteen. She's proud of working with her family at Casa Galaviz and happy to serve a multicultural clientele. She says that Cuban and Chinese customers visit the restaurant.

I asked her if she thinks of about Casa Galaviz in terms of the American dream. “Yes” she replied, “it's a great feeling of pride.”

The restaurant has 27 years of operating in the same location in Denton.
