Nobody was hurt.

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.

MILWAUKEE – The owners of a Milwaukee food truck said they were robbed at gunpoint on Thursday night.

The Friday dinner rush at Taqueria La Herradura food truck moved along like any normal night. But the night before, owner Xochitl Maximino said they had one of the biggest shocks since they opened.

“They came with guns and everything,” she said.

The food truck was parked near 25th and Lincoln when, Maximino said, two men parked around 7:30 p.m. on Thursday. One of them asked to buy a soda, but once an employee went to get the drink, he jumped through the window and tried to grab the cash register. The money fell to the floor, and Maximino said one of the men pulled out a gun.

“We were scared because it was all so fast,” she said.

It all unfolded in front of other customers. The men stole about $2,000 and drove away, Maximino said.

“The good thing is that no one was hurt,” she said. “We have to continue working and move forward.”
