According to Community Impact, Casa Chapala and Community Gardens will join forces to open Chapala Fiesta in the former Heroes Bar and Restaurant space at 1067 State Hwy 71 in Bastrop, following Heroes’ closure on June 30.
“We’re super excited that the Casa Chapala family is coming here to Community Gardens and will offer a level of experience that we haven’t been able to offer before,” said co-owner Autumn Pyka in a video posted to social media.
A Bastrop Tex-Mex classic, Casa Chapala serves authentic Mexican food derived from the Barragan family’s roots in the Central and Coastal Mexican states of Zacatecas and Jalisco, according to their website.
Chapala Fiesta will encompass the indoor area where Heroes was located, as well as an outdoor patio space near the front, and a beer garden toward the back of the property, Community Impact adds.
“We feel sorry that so many times we have to tell our customers, ‘I’m sorry, it’s full, we are packed,’ and now we are thankful to have more space,” owner Guadalupe ‘Lupe’ Barragan said in the video.
