Fat Valdy’s is reopening on Blue Mound Road in Milwaukee
Mexican restaurant Fat Valdy’s is coming back to 5108 W. Blue Mound Rd.
Owner Valdemar Escobar plans to open the restaurant between May and June, his business partner, Patricia Ruiz-Cantu said.
Escobar owns and manages Asadero Fiesta Garibaldi, a Mexican steakhouse that opened in May 2023, and two Chicken Palace locations. Escobar also owns Fiesta Café, but it’s under different management, Ruiz-Cantu said.
Fat Valdy’s will offer a lunch buffet featuring handmade tortillas to order.

Escobar has owned the building for nearly 22 years. Fat Valdy’s was open there until fall 2020 and Caliente Latin Kitchen & Rum Bar took over in the location in early 2021.
Escobar leased the building to the Caliente owners, who have since closed their restaurant.
