goodbye Margarita Paradise hello Paradise Café!

As my husband and I were sitting at one of our favorite bars eating some of our
favorite Mexican food at Margarita Paradise, he asked me when the first time my family brought him there...  my guess was around 1994ish.  I remember going there as long as I can remember eating good Mexican food!...  many birthday celebrations or impromptu family
gatherings were here.
Right after this conversation the General Manager, Amil Alarcon, came up to us with a card and said "I have to tell you guys something..." those words always make me nervous...  as he continued to say they are closing this location sometime this May.  We were sad of course and told him of our recent discussion but he promised us it's a good thing.  They will be moving into the new construction near the old CBS building on Hawley Road (813 S 60th St in West Allis).  They will still make everything from scratch but are expanding beyond Mexican and into more varieties of Latin foods.  The building was getting old I guess and the timing was right when this opportunity presented itself.  It's a much bigger space, closer to the freeway but they will be missed in the charming building.  The Margarita Paradise in the Milwaukee Public Market will not change.  We are sad to see them go but looking forward to new celebrations in their new space!
