A few doors down from El Delfin, another long-time 24th Street business, El Mexicano bar, was just sold. Three business partners bought the space and plan on turning it into a bar and grill.
Thank god that crappy bar is shut — hopefully something fun an interesting will take its place! I also hope they sell some vegetables! This neighborhood has a distinct lack of healthy food choices.
this has got to be a troll.
I’m convinced that at least 80% of the commenters on this site are trolls.
Oh please don’t let El Mexicano bar turn into another hipster hangout.
maybe you could buy the bar and not let white people, oops, i mean hipsters, in.
I thought El Mexicano bar was just being “converted” by the owners’ kids, not really sold. There was a notice up about it maybe 6 mo. ago, but nothing has happened.
