Name your longest staff employees, their position, and something special about them? We have people with us that have been here for almost as long as we have been open. They enjoy working in Chino Valley, AZ where they are close to home, and they are very good at being part of the experience here at Casa Grande. Liz Timper who has been with Casa Grande for 15 years says, “This is the best place to work, we know all the customers, and it is close to our homes”.
15 years later, how do you feel about it? We are still very excited about the restaurant as we have passed ownership to our Daughter Sonia Martinez who is very much involved in the day to day operation.

For both of you, favorite dish at Casa Grande? We love Chile Colorado and Chile Verde!
Best part of managing a restaurant? Good food, good people, this is our life and we love it!
You’re celebrating 15 year Anniversary of the Casa Grande Mexi- can Food Restaurant in Chino Valley, AZ. How was the concept of the restaurant developed? On the recipes, are they family recipes from both of you? The Casa Grande Mexican Food Restaurant is one of the town favorites and a staple in Chino Valley, AZ. We are celebrating its 15 year Anniver- sary. Maria and Guillermo Aldaco started the business featuring family recipes and serving great Mexican food!
My husband and I have dined many times at the Casa Grande over the years. Not only is the food fabulous. I have noticed that your wait staff, cooks, and others have been working with you a long time, which is almost unheard of in the restaurant busi- ness. What is your secret to that? How do you select your staff? Our secret to maintaining a friendly staff and great cooks is very simple, we treat them like family and provide a great work environment!
