Luchita's

In 1981, Luchita Galindo decided to follow her dream of opening her own business. After years of hard work and perseverance, she and her son Jorge Galindo opened the doors to a small Mexican restaurant on the Westside of Cleveland; their restaurant is Luchita's Mexican Restaurant. With the same casual atmosphere of a dine, Luchita and Jorge served up authentic, fresh, hot and delicious food to as many customers as they could fit into their small restaurant.

By the late 80's Luchita's had built a reputation for itself. Then in the 90's the Galindo's realized the demand for fresh, authentic, Mexican food. We could see the publics' taste changing; people could recognize and appreciate authentic Mexican food. This is where we flourished.
