Barroco Closes Original Lakewood Restaurant After 15 Years, Pauses Westlake Location

The Vergara family says the step back reflects family health priorities, with some sites expected to transition to new operators.

Overview

  • The Lakewood Barroco announced a permanent shutdown in a Facebook post, marking the end of the flagship location after 15 years.
  • The Crocker Park/Westlake Barroco is temporarily paused, with operations on hold for now.
  • The Larchmere Barroco remains open under a unique arrangement that involves neighboring La Pecora Pizzabar.
  • Hola Tacos in Lakewood is on hiatus until spring, while Amazonia in Lakewood continues to operate.
  • Owner Juan Vergara says the changes are not due to weak sales and indicates some venues are likely to move to other operators in the coming months.
