Iconic La Mesa Village restaurant ‘Por Favor’ for sale

‘Por Favor, a Mexican food and cantina restaurant in La Mesa Village could be facing changes in the near future. The business is up for sale after years of serving the community with Mexican cuisine.
“It's been a staple restaurant here at the corner with great outdoor seating, it's been out here for fifty years,” La Mesa Village Association Vice President Michelle Huey said.
There are two locations one in La Mesa Village and the second on Main Street in El Cajon. Now, its La Mesa location is up for sale.
“For a restaurant to retire, they need to sell, right? So it's a grinding business,” Huey said.
CBS 8 reached out to the restaurant and the realtor for an interview but were not available.

I’m not surprised, my husband and I went here about a year ago and spent $150 for mediocre Mexican food (we had margaritas too tho), too pricey.

There was going to open a Mexican restaurant across the street, in the old pharmacy. I wonder what happened with that. Casa Gabriela and Mario's up the street are probably stiff competition. People's taste for Mexican food is changing; they want fresh, innovative takes on it. Not just beans, rice and enchiladas.

I used to love going there until they served me fish tacos that smelled horrible.
Stopped eating there forever after that.
Won't miss them.
