Family owned and operated, La Fiesta Grande Restaurants have been in Amarillo since March 7, 1983 from owners Roy and Betty Bara and their daughters Jennifer Bara and Ashley Bara Paredes.
The first location opened its doors at 1412 South Ross across from the T-Anchor Flea Market and moved to its current location at 2200 Ross-Osage Street across from Sam’s Wholesale Club in May 1992, which went under construction in 2003 and a new building was built.
