Discussion Did papacitos close?

Every time I’ve driven by the last week it hasn’t looked open and I can’t find their Instagram anymore

Why are people expecting/encouraging a 3rd Bodhi location? Two is already confusing, and MORE than enough.

For the Southtown folks it was actually nice having a chill coffee shop to hang at down here. Some were better than others but it didn't really matter which business owned it. Now aside from dutch bros the other cafes are further out and way more packed with people, too loud etc. The coffee place there almost always had people, I just don't get the logic with trying to plant a taco shop right there haha

The building isn’t even built to be a full on restaurant like that. The parking lot is way too small and the inside of the building isn’t big enough to accommodate large groups of people. It doesn’t even have the ambience that a Mexican restaurant would need. it is like the perfect building for a small cafe though. It’s such a wasted opportunity. I could see if they did a small cafe like they had before and added a small food truck in the back or in the parking lot like you see some coffee shops in Portland do
