A little over a year after opening in the Cully neighborhood, Nico’s Cantina will officially close its doors in November. But it isn’t the only Portland-based restaurant that will shut down in the coming weeks.

On Tuesday afternoon, Nico Vergara — owner of Nico’s Cantina and Nico’s Ice Cream Shop — shared a social media post announcing that his Mexican restaurant would shutter at the end of the month.

“Between continued rising costs, the rapid growth of Nico’s Ice Cream, & life in general…Well, it’s just a lot,” Vergara wrote. “I am choosing to not see our closure as a failure. But, more so as a learning lesson.”

The owner’s ice cream shop located in the same neighborhood will remain in business. Still, Vergara is seeking a restaurateur to take over the Nico’s Cantina space on 4318 NE Cully Blvd.

Portland’s dining scene will have other openings as well, with the impending closures of Mama Dut and Tokyo Sando.
