There’s something of a perfect storm happening for a number of well-known Mexican restaurants across Tucson.
Inside Tucson Business reported Tuesday that El Parador Restaurant at 2744 E. Broadway and La Fuente Restaurant at 1790 N. Oracle Road will be sold at auction in January. And this morning there’s news that Casa Molina at 6225 E. Speedway Blvd. is facing foreclosure as well.
All three of the restaurants have operated in some capacity for about 50 years. Talk about a harsh week for longtime Tucson Mexican restaurants.

It’s not all the economy. Culture shifts and people change. I have not been to any of these restaurants for over 3 years. Still I’m sad.
What do you expect? Food at the supermarkets is outrageously priced. How can people afford to eat out any more? We only eat out on special occasions. Wow I am really shocked about La Fuente. La Fuente has been here forever.
casa molina has not been good since 98. Try Molina’s Midway instead. AWESOME
