AUSTIN (Austin Business Journal) — Baby Acapulco, known as Baby A’s and famous for its potent purple margaritas, abruptly shuttered its longtime Barton Springs Road location.
The iconic Tex-Mex restaurant incorporated as Sanchez Enterprises Inc. has been in Austin since 1981, and its location at 1628 Barton Springs Road — along somewhat of a popular restaurant row — was viewed as its flagship location. It posted a sign on its front door saying it closed and directing patrons to visit its Riverside Drive or Stonelake Boulevard locations.
A company representative declined to comment. Though it’s unclear why the location was closed, it appears alcohol sales have slipped some.
