Food is always cooking in the kitchen of the Tuney family’s Grapevine home. The family is made up of siblings Jason, Jessica, Kimberly and Brandon; parents Ana and Jose Luis; and family friend Santiago Juarez Pedraza.
The Tuney family took the dishes they created in their home kitchen and combined them with their experience in the food service industry as well as their passion for serving others. They opened Wicho’s House Restaurant in 2018 in North Richland Hills. Business slowed just before the COVID-19 pandemic, so the family decided to move to a new location.

Even though Frisco will not host any soccer matches of its own when the FIFA World Cup comes to Dallas in 2026, the economic impacts of the host city will be felt in Frisco as fans come from across the country to the area, officials said.
“The economic impact is staggering,” Dill said. “People are bringing their money from the outside market and spending it here with local businesses, supporting jobs and paying sales tax, and then they will go back home and leave all the money in our economy."
