Mex Restaurant at 295 Alexander St. in Rochester will close on Nov. 2. The restaurant informed its patrons via its Facebook page.

"After 17 years we will be closing our doors of Mex Wednesday, November 2nd. It is an end of an era and we would love to spend the next month celebrating all the good times that have been had and friendships," the post states.

Mex opened in February 2000, serving Mexican fare in a casual, contemporary environment in Rochester's East End. In addition to Mexican food, it is known for its tequila and specialty margaritas. The Bar at Mex is on the first floor, serving drinks and a limited menu while the dining room is on the second floor. During the summer months, the patio overlooking Alexander Street in the East End was open to patrons.
