After much thought & consideration, we have decided to honor our mothers wish to preserve this historic home that was built in 1895. Juan & Bessie Gutierrez opened this restaurant in their maternal grandmothers home.
*After serving the Yuma community for over 50 years, we have decided to retire La Casa Gutierrez restaurant on August 15th, 2013. Thus the beginning of their tortilla facilities. This also was the place where they began producing corn & flour tortillas. In 1960 they opened La Casa Gutierrez on South Orange Avenue in Bessie's mother's historic home.
That began the tradition of serving their customers reasonably priced food, using high quality ingredients, made fresh daily. In 1954 Juan & Bessie Gutierrez started their first restaurant, The Chile Pepper, on First Street in Yuma, Arizona.
