Seven months after opening in the Lamar Union shopping center, El Burro Mexican Restaurant and Bar closed today.

Public relations spokesperson Paula Biehler confirmed the closure in an email but did not provide a reason for the closure.

The restaurant, from the owners of Vox Table, opened Dec. 6 at 1100 S. Lamar Blvd., Austin. It served authentic Mexican dishes with a Tex-Mex touch.

When the restaurant first opened, General Manager Brendon Wash told Community Impact Newspaper El Burro would "aggressively expand" throughout Texas. Wash did not immediately respond to questions about the closure today.
