Owners Robert and Mary Martinez wrote on Facebook on April 19 that they had planned to retire when their lease was up in June and that the closure of the restaurant due to the coronavirus hastened those plans to close up shop.
“We tried doing takeout service, but financially, it didn’t work out for us. We didn’t know that the city of Austin would keep us closed this long,” the owners wrote.
However, even though the West Anderson Lane location will not reopen once city and county stay-at-home orders are lifted, Mary Martinez said there is some hope for a future for Enchiladas Y Mas in the hands of her nieces, Eva and Carmen, who are in the process of trying to buy the business.
“If they are able to make this a reality, they will be back as soon as possible to serve the same food and margaritas that we’ve been offering all these years. Please be patient, and as soon as we know something, we will share that information with you,” the owners wrote.
