Acapulco Closes Due to Economic Reasons

The Acapulco Restaurant location in Diamond Bar is yet another victim of the recession.

Acapulco closed its doors Sunday. According to a spokeswoman with Real Mex Restaurants, which operates the Acapulco chain, it was a business decision due to the economy, occupancy costs, and other issues outside of the company’s control.

The spokeswoman said that the company has been fielding phone calls from members of the public who are curious as to why the restaurant shut down.

On Monday and Tuesday, employees passed out vouchers for free meals at the nearest Acapulco location, in Montclair.

Real Mex Restaurants also operates El Torito, El Torito Grill, and Chevy’s restaurants.
