"Chef Esdras Ochoa (Salazar, Mexicali) has closed his Austin, Texas restaurant Reunión 19 after less than two years, reports Eater Austin. The East Austin restaurant was a collaboration between Ochoa and Christopher Haydostian, with the latter telling Eater that labor shortages, landlord issues, and increased costs for goods led to the decision to close." - Farley Elliott

"Reunión 19 is a Mexican restaurant in East Austin. The chef is from Los Angeles, and the menu reads more West-Coast-inspired than most Mexican spots in town, with dishes like aguachile, tuna tostadas, and mulitas. But you’ll also find homemade tortillas, al pastor cooked on a trompo, and San Diego-style burritos." - Raphael Brion
