JEFFERSON PARK — The owners of a beloved Jefferson Park paleteria are closing the business — but hope someone is willing to take over.
El Sabor la Michoacanita, 4442 N. Milwaukee Ave., is closing Sunday after about two years in business. It’s a favorite for families and people who want fresh fruit, a smoothie or an ice cream snack. It also sells popular Mexican savory items like homemade tamales, tortas and elotes.
Owners Ana Romero and Jorge Gonzales, a couple from Mexico, made the difficult decision to leave Chicago to open another paleteria with her brother, she said. That business will align more with Romero’s dreams, she said.
“We have a new opportunity … so it’s necessary to close the paleteria,” Romero said in Spanish.
