Communal grew out of the desire for sustainablility. In every sense of the word. Without getting too high up on the soap box we want to change the way restaurants run. Many years of kitchen labor have left us with some questions that need answering. Why must we be stuck in the “back”? Why all work and no play? Why are people eating asparagus and strawberries in December and tomatoes that barely dent if you drop them? Why are we using our dollars to support those who could care less about what goes into the foods.

Frank and his wife Silvia Garcia opened La Casa Garcia restaurant in the Leatrce neighborhood next to the Ponderrosa Park, in the city of Anaheim. The restaurant was there for three years; later Frank saw the opportunity to move to the present location.

Frank followed his dreams and put down $5,000 towards the lease. La Casa Garcia has successfully been open for over two decades.

After 30 years, his dreams of being able to provide for his family, and the ability to offer the people of Orange County the finest Mexican food, has become a reality. (from http://www.lacasagarcia.com)
