Los Amigos, the popular and beloved family Mexican Restaurant on Clairmont Avenue is moving to the Historic Lakeview Entertainment District, confirms Bham Now.

According to Los Amigos management their new location will be the former Bird’s Pizza & Bar site at 2839 7th Avenue South, which closed in October 2018.

Los Amigos could not provide at this time additional details about their departure at the Clairmont location.

Piggly Wiggly Expanding

Bham Now was also able to confirm that the adjacent Piggly Wiggly, the shopping center’s anchor store, will be expanding into the space left by Los Amigos.

Neighborhood Continues to Change

Commercial and retail business along Clairmont Avenue Birmingham’s Southside continues to evolve. In April, the owners of SHOPPE announced they were expanding into the adjacent old Silvertron location. Meanwhile, the Naked Art Gallery closed last month.
