The backstory

The restaurant would have been celebrating its second anniversary in January. Joe Murphy and his wife, Carmen Vega, poured their savings into opening Zafiros Mexican Grill y Cantina in Colleyville, according to previous reporting.


Zafiros offered Mexican entrees, appetizers and sides featuring fresh, scratch-kitchen ingredients, such as locally sourced vegetables, in-house butchered meats and fish hand-selected by chefs, according to its website. The restaurant also served a variety of dishes, including tostadas, fajitas, nachos, steak, handmade corn tortillas and more, according to its menu.
