Pacific Palisades Real Estate Blog - Kay & Dave's Restaurant

What use to be a hidden town secret is now becoming a local household name on the Westside for traditional Mexican food. Kay 'n Dave's Mexican food is absolutely amazing! Here is some information I gathered from their website:

We Began in 1991 when Dave bought a run down cantina on P.C.H. in Malibu.  Other locations followed:  Pacific Palisades in 1992; Brentwood in 1995; and Culver City in 2009.  Before starting this business, Dave was a lawyer who didn't enjoy wearing a tie, sitting behind a desk, or dealing with stacks of papers.  So he decided to give business a try.  Within a few months of leaving law and taking over the Malibu spot, he ran out of money and maxed out his credit cards.  He also realized he had no talent for waiting tables or managing staff.  So he focused on his customers, listened to what they wanted, and tried to assemble a staff that could help him offer a good meal at a fair price in a friendly environment all-day every-day.  In the early years, Kay played a big role in running the restaurants.  Had she not, Dave is pretty certain they would have suffered the doomed fate of most other start up restaurants.  Kay moved to Portland Oregon in 1999 to pursue art.  Today, Dave runs the business with his wife Jintana.  Or better put, Jintana runs things and Dave does all he can to stay out of the way.
