'Los Aztecas,' new Mexican restaurant opening on Blue Grass
A new Mexican restaurant will soon be make its debut on Blue Grass Road.
Randy Robinson, building official for Union Township, said Los Aztecas is part of a franchise with others in southwest Michigan.
The restaurant will open in the same block as Biggby Coffee at 4445 East Blue Grass Road.
Greg Turner, project manager for construction, said it will be approximately 4,500 square feet, enough to fit 157 people with a dining room and a bar.
“It’s got an authentic Mexican theme, but what I’m excited for is the Dos Equis on tap,” Turner said.
He said the restaurant is scheduled to receive its first shipment of furniture this week.
Owner Fernando Viurquiz said Los Aztecas already has its liquor license, but is waiting for approval from the state. The owners are planning to stock a full bar with margaritas and many types of beers and liquor. He said he expects the restaurant to be open within a few weeks.
“People can expect great, authentic Mexican cuisine,” Viurquiz said. “Anything they want; enchiladas, nachos, or burritos.”
The restaurant has already started decorations and wall paintings, Viurquiz said.
“My goal is to make people happy enough to come back again,” Viurquiz said. “I just have to wait for the people to come, and I will take good care of them.”
