Casa Blanca Says Goodbye

The Tex-Mex restaurant Casa Blanca at 400 W. Davis St. has closed, property owner Amanda Cross said Wednesday (July 28).

The Go Oak Cliff blog stated a moving van packed up the restaurant’s furniture on Sunday. Cross said the restaurant’s owner, Gina Lara, was seeking a smaller space. Cross said she believed the economy was a factor in the closing.

“The restaurant business is one of the hardest businesses is there is,” Cross said. “I hope she finds a smaller place;  if there is anything I can do to help her, I will.”

Cross said she has several interested parties in that location, declining to say more except it won’t be a Mexican restaurant. For more details, see the Aug. 7 edition of the Oak Cliff People.

    I am sorry to “pile on” but these people are just NOT restaurant operators. I lived blocks from the Lemmon Avenue disaster, used to go in, sit at the bar just to see if they were as bad as I thought. They were – never disappointed. Because they have restaurants in their blood/dna means NOTHING.
