Banditos got shut down??

[tiffany]

We tried to go to Wrecked at The Reef today (sunday) with our kids. No kids allowed. Waiter said that last Saturday the liquor license people shut them down as their license was a bar license not a restaurant license. Supposedly they had had several warnings and ignored them. Could this be what happened at Banditos?

Do you mean a restaurant license, and not a bar license? That would make sense. They must have been talking about Bandito's though. I looked at Wrecked at the Reef's facebook, and they post pretty much everyday. It doesn't appear they were shut down at all... plus, friends have been there since the no kids thing and we're told it's temporary, and they haven't been shut down.

I can confirm that Wrecked is being very strict about minors in the bar.

Middle of the afternoon mom and 15 year old daughter turned away.

I get it but ........ It's Mexico.... Too... Yuh know?

Good for wrecked that they are doing their job.

Sad the kid can't experience Wrecked and the patio , the tables nearest the beach the tide coming in and even the Jetty as the view.The atmosphere, vibe weather and water are BEAUTIFUL today. And Wrecked, though a littler pricer than other places, would have been a great experience.

Ran into the young lady and her mother at Satisfied Frog. Hello to Nikki? and India Star. What a beautiful mother and daughter. They were turned away but the security as very cordial according to the account.
Kudos to Wrecked for dealing with the "changes" in oversight with a cool attitude.

Just an FYI, Banditos is open, just drove by about 2 hours ago, place was getting busy now we can hear a band on our patio at the Sonoran Spa we are renting that is playing at either Banditos or Chongos

Also, reached out to owner of Wrecked at the Reef via email. They said basically ,for now they can't allow children but yes they applied for the other licence and were going to receive it or their answer any day now. Then they can start letting kids again if and or when the license comes.

same issue at Banditos on Sunday afternoon. Saw a family of 4 turned away because of the children.
Really starting to like the band that plays at Changos. It will be interesting to see how the new pool will be used.

the Palapa at Boo Bar is awesome!

What other bars/restaurants are having this problem? JJ's, La Curva, Al Capones, Boo Bar? We are bringing our 16 year old later this month.

My kids were fine at Lattitde 31, bar & restaurant they are very family friendly & have all the correct license's , I wouldn't worry about bringing a 16 year old anywhere on the Malecon either, you shouldn't have problems there but if so, there are lots of options in the same area.
Anywhere that has a restaurant license like La Curva all kids will be ok

We just got back from Rocky Point last night (4/11). We took my girlfriend's daughter and her daughter's friend. They are both 19 year old college students. They were asked for their IDs almost everywhere we went (Bandito's, Wrecked at the Reef, JJ's Cantina, etc.) I think it's good that they are being a little more strict about who they let drink.
