Carmen Rosales and Carmen Garcia
Owners, Connie's Mexico Cafe, Wichita
Started in 1963 by Concepción "Connie" Lopez, Connie's Mexico Cafe has been a fixture of Wichita's North End for decades. Here, Carmen Rosales, Connie's daughter tells about what it was like to grow up in the family restaurant as well as her experiences taking it on as her own venture. Carmen "Cici" Garcia, Connie's granddaughter, has now, with her sister, become the third generation to run the business and discusses how she has put her stamp on this local icon.
Pay attention to pay attention to your customers, pay attention to your employees,
and most importantly, take care of yourself.
