It's been our pleasure at Los Banditos East to serve our customers for almost four decades. You've provided us with the opportunity to get to know you and become part of our Los Banditos family, sort of like our own version of "Cheers". In many cases we've seen three generations of families come through our door.
But recent developments have brought us to an impasse. Having lost, and soon to lose more, key employees and managers to retirement, along with competitive pressures, we were left with a dilemma. In an increasingly challenging hiriing environment how do we effectively staff both restaurants? We've always taken pride in the service provided by our staff and the consistency of the food we believe you've come to expect.
With that in mind we've decided that the best option for the future of Los Banditos is to merge existing key personnel from the East side location to Los West. It seemed better to have one location with the best staff we could provide than two locations struggling to fill in the voids.
So I'm sorry to say that our last day of operation day will be Saturday, February 17th. The staff here has agreed to remain here until that time to say farewell to our customers and share their stories. We're thankful to them for their loyalty and committment.
We will leave this location with sad hearts but fond memories. You never made it seem like work to us, but more like having good friends stop in for dinner and conversation.
We know that Doc, Becky, Craig, myself, and the staff at Los West will continue the tradition and welcome you with open arms.
We will be forever grateful to you all for providing us the pleasure of having you as loyal customers. We hope you will join us over the next month as we celebrate 37 terrific years of serving you at Los Banditos East.
Vaya con dios, mi amigos
