Recent Restaurant Closures

The Valley's lost some favorites lately.

A few high-profile restaurants closed for business just within the last week or two -- Tapino, Fine's Cellar, and the historic El Chorro Lodge.

Mesa's Grill El Quetzal, a Guatemalan joint in the strip mall across from Mekong Plaza, is gone.

And two established Scottsdale nightlife destinations, Sugar Daddy's and Six Lounge, are also kaput.
