It appears that old-school Mexican joint Acapulco Restaurant, 606 W. National Ave., has called it quits after decades in Walker's Point. The windows are dark and the telephone has been disconnected with no new information.
Even with newer, nicer Mexican restaurants popping up in the area, Acapulco was still heralded as an affordable place to get a decent meal and the fact that is served a Mexican breakfast around the clock was popular with the bar-time crowd.
There is no word yet on what might replace the restaurant, but stay tuned to OnMilwaukee.com for more details as they develop.
OnMilwaukee.com staff writer Julie Lawrence grew up in Wauwatosa and has lived her whole life in the Milwaukee area.
As any “word nerd” can attest, you never know when inspiration will strike, so from a very early age Julie has rarely been seen sans pen and little notebook. At the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee it seemed only natural that she major in journalism. When OnMilwaukee.com offered her an avenue to combine her writing and the city she knows and loves in late 2004, she knew it was meant to be. Around the office, she answers to a plethora of nicknames, including “Lar,” (short for “Larry,” which is short for “Lawrence”) as well as the mysteriously-sourced “Bill Murray.”
