Fresco has been a popular spot in Downtown Corpus Christi for the past three years. A recent Facebook story post stated things are about to change. Downtown Corpus Christi has seen a revitalization over the last several years and it's brought a lot of businesses to the area One such business is Fresco, who are now going to be closing their doors.
"All you can do is just try. And we tried our absolute hardest, for as long as we possibly could," Oneida Cantu, one of the owners of Fresco said about trying to keep the business open.
Tony Maldonado and Oneida Cantu are very familiar with the food industry.
Oneida got her start as a young girl working at her parents fish market, while Tony has worked in several restaurants over the years.
With their lease coming up, they felt it was time to serve up their final dish.
"Even if it was for a small time we had a little bit of an impact in our community," Oneida said.
The Cantu's said the last day of operation is set for Sept. 2, which coincides with the September Art Walk.
Be sure to visit Fresco, located at 619 N Chaparral Street, one last time before their doors are closed for good.
