New Joliet Restaurant Seeks Liquor License

JOLIET, IL — A popular West Chicago family style Mexican seafood restaurant that features live entertainment is now close to opening another restaurant on Joliet's Black Road.

Next Wednesday, Joliet Mayor Bob O'Dekirk and the city's liquor commissioners will review the Class E liquor license application for Mariscos El Vallartazo. The Joliet City Council has the final vote on the application.

A Class E license allows a restaurant or hotel to serve alcohol within their premises at tables only.

Mariscos El Vallartazo is filling the sit-down restaurant vacancy when the owners of Barolo's Italian Ristorante announced their retirement last September.

Mariscos El Vallartazo has not announced a grand opening date for their new Joliet restaurant.
