Casa Corona seen clearing their burritos out already We are flush with good Mexican restaurants in Fresno. So the closing of the Bullard & West Casa Corona is low on the loss scale. But it still sucks. It’s a good location in a nice shopping center, good bar (although they could have done better with the beer selection), good neighborhood atmosphere and the history of it being once El Torro Tambien and still looking like it inside. The decision to close was one of downsizing for the owners, not wanting the work of running two locations. But why keep the Cedar & Herndon and drop Bullard & West, because… no offense to Cedar but the Bullard one was kinda way better, IMO. But whatevs, I assume the Cedar lease is cheaper and that’s the one they have had longer so, I get it. Hopefully, another good local restaurant will get in that space and kill it. Meanwhile, happening across the street: This building will be having Wine Wednesdays every day, soon enough. Related: Across the street, someone is making that odd white building into a wine bar. Yep, people will be bouncing between the Manhattan bar, the new wine bar, and Max’s across the street, it will be NW Fresno debauchery. So watch out.
