About Casa De Nana:

In 1968, the founder of Pepe Taco traveled to the tip of California in search of the finest Mexican cuisine to bring back to Western Massachusetts. As the Springfield area's first Mexican restaurant, Pepe Taco brought spice and zest to the area. In 1970, the restaurant's name was changed from Pepe Taco to Nana's Kitchen. In 1984, the name was changed to Casa De Nana, "House of Grandmother", tribute to one of the restaurant's original founders. At Casa De Nana, we continue to pride ourselves, using only the freshest ingredients in all of our recipes, which are the original since 1968.

Rob began working in the business 23 years ago. He once owned a deli in Wilbraham. He has been at Casa de Nana since 1990. He purchased the business from the original owners who taught him all the ropes. He continues to manage and bartend at Casa, offering very comical conversation nightly.

Pete started at Casa de Nana in 1995 and has become an intricate part of our restaurant team. His restaurant experience originates in California back in the 1980's. He manages and bartends at Casa and is famously known for his Margarita mixing.

Together, Rob & Pete, have over 50 years of restaurant experience! They have YOU, their loyal customers, to thank.
