Cantina Tortilla Grill closes in West Homewood: Sol Y Luna receives full focus

Cantina Tortilla Grill has closed in West Homewood.

Originally located in Southside Birmingham, owners Jorge and Aimee Castro reopened the beloved restaurant in July 2023 after a four-year hiatus.

Thanking loyal Cantina customers

In a statement released to Bham Now, the Castros thanked their loyal customers. Now, they plan to pour all their energy into Sol Y Luna, their popular restaurant in Lane Parke near the Birmingham Botanical Gardens.

Below is their statement.

“In life and business, there are things that are meant to be and others that are not. Unfortunately, we do not believe Cantina West Homewood is meant to be at this time and place. We are very disappointed but believe it is God’s plan for us to concentrate our time and energy on our family and pour into our other restaurant, Sol Y Luna. 

We are so grateful for our employees, customers, friends and family for their unwavering support. Please look for your Cantina favorites on our Sol Y Luna brunch and lunch menus. Remember to support local when you can!” 

With Gratitude,

Aimee and Jorge Castro
