This authentic Mexican restaurant serves breakfast, lunch and dinner menus including tacos, burritos, menudo, agua frescas and beer & wine with their 41 ABC license. A staple in this go-to center on this busy boulevard, this business has great signage and is anchored by several national tenants, has ample parking, and is close to the 91, 15, 60 and 215 freeways.
The kitchen is easy to manage, features well-maintained equipment and most of the staff have been with the business for 16+ years. There is a private office for clerical work and counting cash, a large storage room, a walk-in refrigerator and a large hotline hood. The restaurant also offers several vending machines: the vendor does all the work and you keep 30% of the cash! The order counter runs an old school cash register (no POS here), and receives a good mix of cash and credit cards. The space also offers quality, fresh made agua frescas and the order counter is equipped with protective sneeze guards. Customers love the place: the restaurant has earned consistent revenue and profits over the years, and has excellent 4+ star ratings across 200+ online reviews. Best of all ... the rent and CAM are extremely low!!!
Unfortunately the owner has health issues, forcing her to change careers to one that minimizes physical activity; so it's time to sell the family business. A buyer can step into this restaurant and boost the profits with some straightforward improvements: give the space a facelift, add a point of sales system, and advertise. The menu's pricing has not been raised in years, so simply coming up to market prices should dramatically boost profits! In addition, the website is bland and outdated, they use virtually no social media, and they don't fully leverage delivery services. Finally, they only take catering upon request, so actively focusing on catering (even a bit) should increase sales and exposure!
This restaurant has all the pieces for an owner operator to take it to the next level. Don't spend your money on the physical buildout, expensive permitting and time consuming city and health approvals. Instead, use your capital to get the word out: build a digital presence and for gosh sakes, ADVERTISE, ADVERTISE, ADVERTISE! Contact the Agent today and start taking those missed profits off the table!
