Costa Mesa Area Mexican Restaurant & Bar–Established Customer Favorite
Business Description
This well-established family operated Costa Mesa area Mexican restaurant and bar has been a customer favorite for over 5 decades and is being offered for the first time! The spacious venue, that has become a brand name to everyone in the area, boasts a remarkable long-standing anchor location in a major shopping center. The restaurant has several sections that not only allow for efficient operations but also provide a convenient way to section off areas for banquets, large parties or special events. The bar is similarly separated and could even operate as a stand-alone profit center.

- Market Outlook / Competition
- While there are no shortage of authentic Mexican restaurants throughout Southern California, this venue has been a perennial favorite for over 50 years, making it the incumbent and most established market leader. Its name brand, decades of goodwill, spacious parking lot shared in a center with high traffic anchor tenants, freeway accessibility and main street drive-by visibility all create the perfect storm of restaurant attributes that provide this venue an unmatched competitive advantage.
- Opportunities for Growth
- This well-established venue has recently undergone a comprehensive remodel during the COVID induced slow-down. As a result, the venue has recovered and is surpassing its already impressive historical performance. Though it has been a family operated business, the operation may benefit from a full-time working owner-operator that has hospitality industry experience and is able to minimize expenses while bolstering the establishment’s already stellar revenues. The bar portion of the operation naturally enjoys the highest margins.
