Closed Westmont Mexican Eatery Still Missed More Than Month Later

WESTMONT, IL – A Mexican restaurant closed in Westmont more than a month ago, but people are apparently missing it.

In recent days, commenters on the Nextdoor social media site have questioned what happened to the eatery.

For five years, TQLA Mexican Kitchen & Cantina was at 19 W. Ogden Ave. It was in the same spot as the former Woodgrain Pizzeria.

On June 22, the restaurant announced on social media that it would close six days later.

"It is with heavy hearts that we announce that we have made the difficult decision not to renew our lease at TQLA Westmont," the owners said. "From the bottom of our hearts, thank you to everyone who has supported us from day one and continued to support us throughout this incredible journey."

In April 2023, TQLA announced it would open a second location that summer in Glenview. It appears that never happened.
