Popular Mexican restaurant and bar in Geneva announce closures

Sergio's Cantina and 1910 Geneva in Geneva have announced their permanent closure via Facebook.

A popular stop in Geneva for drinks and Mexican food will soon close permanently.

Sergio’s Cantina and 1910 Geneva, both located on the corner of State Street and Route 31 in Geneva, announced on Facebook that they will be closing their doors after almost 16 years.

An employee of the restaurant confirmed the news when reached by phone on Wednesday.

“It has been our family’s dream to open a family-friendly restaurant and share our authentic family recipes with you since we first opened our doors in November of 2007,” according to the Facebook post. “We’re grateful for all the support we have received from our community all these years, and for being a special place so many have shared memories.”

Sergio and Lindsey De Los Santos are pictured months after the opening of Sergio's Cantina in Geneva in 2008.

The post says they will close within the “next couple of weeks.”

When Sergio and Lindsey De Los Santos opened the restaurant, almost half the menu was from Sergio’s family recipes, he told the Daily Herald in 2008. They opened the 1910 Bar, now 1910 Geneva, upstairs in the same building at 30 W. State St. in 2018.
