These beloved Mexican restaurant chains have closed Arizona locations in 2025
Arizona has seen a slate of store and restaurant closures this year. While the closure of stores like Joann and Macy's may have generated a lot of chatter, Arizona has also seen several major Mexican restaurant chains unexpectedly closing their doors, much to the dismay of customers. Recently, eight Filiberto's stores scattered across metro Phoenix quietly closed. In addition to the closures of the 24-hour restaurants, Buqui Bichi and On the Border also closed stores around town. Here's everything to know about the recent Mexican restaurant chains that have closed stores in Arizona, including which specific locations were impacted. Eight locations of the popular Valley chain Filiberto's have quietly closed, some permanently, according to signs posted on the doors. The 24-hour drive-through Mexican restaurant has more than 50 locations in metro Phoenix alone. Originally started by the Tenorio family, the chain has franchised its locations to many different owners. The eight locations are all owned by the Compadres Group. These are the eight locations that closed: Phoenix: 2955 N. 91st Ave, 17224 N. 19th Ave. Apache Junction: 10749 E. Apache Trail Chandler: 930 E. Pecos Road Gilbert: 1397 E. Williams Field Road Peoria: 13972 N. 83rd Ave. Scottsdale: 9150 E. Indian Bend Road Avondale: 1440 N. Dysart Road Buqui Bichi, an award-winning Mexican brewery, closed its last remaining Arizona taproom in downtown Phoenix in late May. It was the brewery's second ever location in the U.S. In August 2023, they opened their first U.S. location in Chandler. In January 2024, they opened a second store in downtown Phoenix. The Chandler location closed in October 2024 and was replaced by Miel de Agave. In a statement to The Republic, co-owner Martin Hurtado said: "Ultimately, we decided to close because the menu wasn't aligning with what our customers were looking for, many were expecting more traditional or recognizable Mexican offerings. Unfortunately, the franchise owners weren't open to adjusting the menu to better meet those local preferences, so we felt it was best to step away." On the Border Mexican Grill and Cantina closed all of its Arizona locations in February. The restaurant had three locations in the Valley: Mesa at 1710 S. Power Road, Peoria at 7873 W. Bell Road and Ahwatukee at 5005 E. Ray Road. All three locations show as permanently closed on the restaurant's social media pages.

Seaweed overruns some Caribbean beaches as Sargassum hits record levels
PONCE, Puerto Rico – As Sargassum levels surge to unprecedented amounts across parts of the Atlantic basin, some beaches in the Caribbean have already been overwhelmed by the thick, smelly seaweed. Photos and videos taken throughout the Caribbean show extensive accumulations of the smelly algae along the southern and eastern coasts of Puerto Rico, as well as in parts of Cozumel and Mexico's Yucatán Peninsula. In some locales, the buildup appeared to be so significant that residents and tourists stayed away from the shoreline entirely, leaving some beaches relatively empty. The uneven impact of the seaweed means one area may be spared while a nearby location experiences the brunt of the activity. Much of the variation appears to be driven by ocean currents that either direct or protect the seaweed from reaching specific locations. Record-breaking Sargassum Invasion In Atlantic, Caribbean Threatens To Foul Beach Resorts Ceiba, a coastal community on Puerto Rico's eastern shore southeast of San Juan, appeared to be one of the hardest-hit areas. Photos taken in the coastal community showed beaches blanketed by the brown algae. Remarkably, the beaches located less than a 20-minute drive away looked pristine, which underscores the unpredictable nature of the event. Unlike the photos from Ceiba, images from tourist-heavy areas along Mexico's Yucatán coast revealed that some areas had benefited from cleanup operations, which helps to temporarily mitigate the unwanted sight. The Mexican government previously stated it was taking a more proactive approach in 2025, dedicating resources to both monitor and manage the seaweed. The government's efforts appeared to be focused on protecting the region's critical tourism industry, which can suffer when unpleasant coastal events arise. Noaa Mission Finds Unexpected Discovery At Site Of Sunken Uss Yorktown While the seaweed might look unpleasant, health experts advise beachgoers that the Sargassum isn't usually harmful to humans. However, tiny creatures that bury in the globs can produce rashes and blisters if contact is made with the skin. For some species of marine life, the brown algae are considered to be helpful, and biologists believe that the buildup provides food and refuge for small fish, crabs, shrimp and other organisms. Monthly updates from the University of South Florida's Optical Oceanography Lab are expected to show that the Sargassum will remain at significant levels at least through the summer. Experts at the Tampa-based university warn that increased amounts could lead to problems along the U.S. Gulf Coast and Florida, but it remains to be seen whether volumes will rival what was experienced during the 2023 article source: Seaweed overruns some Caribbean beaches as Sargassum hits record levels

Iconic Grand Forks restaurant Italian Moon to close; last days June 18-20
Jun. 12—GRAND FORKS — The Italian Moon, a restaurant in Grand Forks since 1965, will close next week, its management has announced. On the restaurant's official website is a message to customers. "It is with heavy hearts that we announce the closing of Italian Moon," the website said. "This decision was not made lightly. Italian Moon has been more than just a restaurant — it has been a gathering place for families, friends, celebrations and everyday moments. We've had the privilege of serving generations of loyal guests, and we are truly grateful for the memories made within our walls." Its final days open will be June 18, 19 and 20, from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. while supplies last, according to a sign outside the restaurant. A Greenberg Realty "property for sale" sign sat beside it. According to past Herald coverage, The Moon opened in 1965, originally operated by Keith Moon. Its menu has specialized in pizza and pasta, along with other American and even Mexican fare. It operated for some four decades under Ken Towers before Scott Purpur took over ownership in 2015. Purpur, the restaurant's owner, previously was a soft drink district sales manager. In a 2012 review of the restaurant, Herald columnist Marilyn Hagerty said, "The Moon seems to cater to a broad spectrum. The regulars come from all walks of life and of all ages." And in 2021, she wrote: "The fact that there is no front door at the Moon sets the theme. The place is different from many chain or group restaurants because in these days it is one of a kind. With some customers, it is most popular on Sundays for brunch or for late afternoon visits to the salad bar." A message left for Purpur was not returned before this report was published.
