El Charro's in Chapter 11 Bankruptcy.

Their problem could stem from their Garden City operation.... They built a very nice building but I believe they have closed it down.

Detector, try the Tacos at the Golden Bell Pancake House next to the Cattlemens Lounge...THEY ARE AWESOME!!!!

Thanks pootsy. We eat at Golden Bell all the time but I've never tried a taco.

The Garden City Restaurant is probably the reason for the filing. It never did seem to catch on over there for some reason. But, the DC location always seemed busy.

Detector, you ever had a taco from Jaliscos?--the real one, not the one in the mall.

Just because they are using chapter 11 bankruptcy, does that necessarily mean they are going to close?

Personally, I hope not - I like their amercanized version of mexican food. I put them in a different class than Casa Alavarez or Taco Jalisco - to me, they do not serve the same kind of food. I know if I am in the mood for authentic mexican food, I do not go to El Charro's. Conversely, if I am in the mood for mexican food with lots of sour cream and cheese and awesome cheese sauce, El Charro's is where I will go.

I think through Chapter 11, they are allowed to reorganize their debt and seek relief from creditors. Usually allowed to continue to operate (such as maybe just the DC restaurant). So, the doors might be open and I'm sure they would welcome our support. Haven't driven by, so not sure if they're operating. I would expect they are.

No Drifter I haven't tried Jaliscos where are they?

That is correct, Chapter 11 is a reorganization bankruptcy specifically for businesses. They will be allowed to remain open and in business and everything that relates to money will be overseen by the court.
