FARMINGTON – Los Hermanitos has already endured significant hardship during the COVID-19 pandemic, and the popular Mexican restaurant business faces another major blow that’ll take effect next week.
Owner Sam Gonzales said his establishment’s northeast location in Farmington will close by the end of the month after the business could not come to a lease agreement with property management. The westside location remains open.
Gonzales said the last day of operations at the northeast location will be Jan. 27, adding that the current lease is set to end on Jan. 31. However, the westside location will remain open.
“We’re just downsizing,” Gonzales said, adding he owns the westside location but does not own the Northeast location. “We’re so far behind that I need consistency… I need to be able to try to establish our cash flow. It’s been drastically affected. We need some leniency on rent.”
