The Castillo family’s willingness to adapt to customer interests while remaining true to family traditions and recipes have secured their restaurants a special place in the heart of many locals. For instance, Waco newspapers often listed the Italian Village as a favorite dining spot because of the variety offered on its menu, including baked lasagna, nachos, pizza, enchiladas, and tacos. Pictured here in front of the Italian Village, from left to right, are Ernest Castillo, Tony Castillo, Sam Castillo (founder of La Fiesta), and Antonio Castillo.
