Owensboro will soon have a new Mexican restaurant, as La Familia Mexican Grill is expected to open in mid-October.

La Familia, located at 3600 Federica St. Suite F, first announced its opening roughly two weeks ago, and ever since then owner Amber Yañez has been seeing growth consistently on their Facebook Page.

“We’ve already got 800 likes on it. That was pretty good,” Yañez said. “And a lot of shares and likes. And my husband knows a lot of people and me too, so I think we’ll have a lot of people come in.”

Yañez said she and her husband have been cooking for 20 years trying new recipes together at their house and were close to opening a taco truck. However, when their building opened, they jumped in and started the remodeling.

Since they have been cooking these recipes for two decades, Yañez believes that they will be able to provide quality meals for their customers. The key thing that she feels makes their cooking unique is the time they dedicate to each recipe.

On the menu, she and her husband plan to have the usual items of a Mexican restaurant but they also plan to have other dishes like chilaquiles and charro beans with their special twist to the dishes. Yañez said the latter is something that she is excited about as she said, “Kentucky loves beans.”
