Mexican food & Dancing go well together at this beautiful Downtown Palm Springs Adobe style Restaurant.....Las Casuelas Terraza celebrated 20 years of successful operations this past February....Many of the opening day employee's are still working for the same owners, and none of them have any regrets....In fact, there are four Degado family restaurants on the lower desert, all of them serving time honored Mexican cuisine made in the traditional Mexican style, with original recipes borrowed from both families of the owners and there grandmothers.

But they almost didn't make there opening day happen....2 days before opening day, a very rare 4 inch snowfall fell on Palm Springs just as the Delgados were attempting to bring the restaurants furniture and other supplies down from the San Bernardino area....Both of the moving vans and the owners cars got stuck in the Banning area when the CHP closed the 10 freeway because it was to unsafe to travel....Over a foot of snow fell, and black ice had formed on the bridges....12 hours before the restaurant was due to open, the moving vans arrived and they began to set up, even while the employees were still painting the walls of the main dinning area.

Well, not quite, but they are the Follies and they are based on the Follies Bergere' of Paris France Fame, but that's where the similarity ends....This Follies has one dancer who is 83 years old, and her sister who is still dancing, is 84.
