A Salt Lake City business owner says his 18-month-old Mexican eatery on 900 South won’t survive the disruption caused by an upcoming road improvement project — so he has decided to close the restaurant permanently.
“It’s going to be a mess, and I can’t survive it,” said chef Matt Lake, owner of Alamexo Cantina, 1059 E. 900 South. “No one is going to sit on a patio while there is dirt in the air.”
Lake said the building owners have let him out of the lease so he can focus on his first restaurant, Alamexo Mexican Kitchen at 268 S.
