Last week, popular Mexican Restaurant Mi Familia announced that Sunday, February 18th would be their last day in operation.
The family owned and operated restaurant took roots back in 2009 in a small space near the corner of 67th Avenue and Happy Valley Road. The restaurant originally had limited seating and did most of their business with take out, but soon grew to consume the next door space and added a full bar and additional seating.
In a statement posted on Facebook the owners announced that it is time to retire from the restaurant industry, “Our families are tired and we just need to start a new chapter in our lives! Thank you to everyone that has supported us over the years, we love you all very much! We will keep the regulars page open so we can stay in contact and continue to hang out, Birthday parties and special events together. Again thank you for all your support.”
Have no fear though, the area isn’t losing a Mexican food option. Valle Luna has been announced as the chain that will take over the current Mi Familia space. Information has not been released yet as to when Valley Luna will begin operations in their new location.
