This casual Mexican-style restaurant in Pike Creek has closed after a 12-year run

Tierra Mexi-Cali Grill has closed in the Pike Creek Shopping Center.

The counter-service, casual Mexican restaurant at 4710 Limestone Road operated for 12 years.

Tierra took over a vacant shoe store in January 2012 and planned its menu around build-your-own, Mexican-California-style tacos, burritos, and salads.

Options include warm flour tortilla burritos, three tacos (you could get flour tortillas or light, crunchy corn taco shells), a bowl, or a salad. The price was based on your choice of protein.

It had no liquor license, but bottled and fountain drinks were available.

Tierra was part of a “diner’s row” in the Pike Creek Shopping Center. The remaining restaurants in the row include Kabab & Curry, Soybean Asian Grille, Barcelona Pizza, and Sushi Xtreme.

An “available” sign from the center’s owner Regency Center was in the window on Thursday afternoon and a handwritten sign on the door read “Sorry We Are Closed.”

The restaurant appears to have closed sometime in July. Its Facebook page is no longer operating. A phone call to the restaurant Thursday had a recording that said the call could not be completed. No other information was immediately available. The business no longer appears on the Regency Centers website.

Delaware County man sentenced to four and half years in state prison

MARGARETVILLE, N.Y. (WBNG) —Delaware County District Attorney Shawn Smith announced a Margaretville man has been sentenced to State Prison for drug crimes.

The District Attorney’s Office said Dennis Fickeria, 43, of Margaretville, NY has been sentenced to four and half years in prison. Fickeria was originally charged with criminal possession of a controlled substance.

On Jan. 3rd, according to Senior Investigator Christopher Erwin and other members of the Delaware County Sheriff’s Office, they executed a search warrant at 1542 Jones Hollow Rd., Fickeria’s residence. As a result of the search, deputies found controlled substances and firearms.

On Oct. 28, the office said Fickeria appeared in court where he pled guilty to his charge. Fickeria admitted that he had possessed fentanyl intending to sell it. The office said the guilty plea was entered as part of a negotiated disposition.

In addition to the sentencing, the office said Delaware County Court Judge John Hubbard ordered Fickeria to be supervised by the Department of Parole for one year following his release.

The office said the court also forfeited the U.S. currency seized from Fickeria’s residence which it will use to fund law enforcement efforts in Delaware County.
