Jalapenos to close at end of year
The Houston Business Journal's Allison Wollam reports that a longtime Upper Kirby restaurant will be closing to make way for a residential/retail project:
Jalapenos, the colorful restaurant near the corner of Kirby and Westheimer, will close its doors a the end of the year to make way for a huge new development on the land where the eatery has stood for 18 years.
Owner Tomas Romero made the announcement to his staff on Oct. 14. The restaurant plans to continue operation through Dec. 30 and will host a variety of special events and menu items to celebrate its near two decades in business.
Construction on a massive residential and retail project that will rise on much of the block on Kirby between Kipling and Westheimer is set to begin in January.
Romero says there are no immediate plans to re-open Jalapenos at another location, but he is exploring options.
In the meantime, Romero's The Courtyard on St. James, a private event facility and lunch-only restaurant located at 1885 St. James Place, will serve many of Jalapenos' most popular dishes.
