    By PDX Food Dude Last Update January 27, 2014 2 Comments

    Esparza's Tex-Mex closedThe rumors are true – Esparza’s Text-Mex restaurant has closed. Bruce over at @Wineguyworld broke the news this weekend.

    According to a sign on the door,

    “We have closed our business after 24 years. We would like to thank you for supporting us. We have enjoyed the friendships made over the years.

    We are starting a new chapter in our lives — relaxing and enjoying life.

    Martha & Joe Esparza

    Something tells me an apartment building will rise on the site. Let’s hope I’m wrong.

      Seems like a certainty, given the popularity of that strip, and the general success the new place on the corner (housing Paa Dee) has had with their retail space.

      We need a mexi roundup STAT! Now what are we going to do. Sure, there are a ton of great tacos and high end mexican food, but where does one go for the good ol fashioned sit down enchilada dinner w/chips & salsa included??? And don’t tell me Chevy’s, or some crazy stuff like that. What is out there, especially on the east side? Help.
