Steamboat briefs: Quintero's closes doors in Hayden on Thursday
Advertisement
Steamboat Springs — Quintero's, a Mexican restaurant that opened in December 2007 in Hayden, closed its doors Thursday. Maria Quintero, who owned the restaurant with her husband, Luis, said they were closing because of limitations placed on her after suffering injuries in a car accident last year.
She said the economy really didn't have anything to do with their decision to close.
"A lot of people called and said, 'Don't close because in Steamboat and Craig, there's no Mexican food like this,'" she said.
Quintero left open the possibility of reopening the authentic, made-from-scratch Mexican restaurant in the future in Steamboat Springs, depending on her health.
