Last December Los Cucos Mexican Café was lost in a fire, and now the owners have received more bad news. On March 13th, they were informed that they lost their lease, and the building will have to be torn down. The City of Wharton owns the land where the building sits next to the Colorado River, and they terminated the lease during a council meeting. This isn’t related to the fire, but the city is acquiring and clearing property along the river for the U.S. Corps of Engineers to build a levee.
