How the mighty have (reportedly) fallen.
These reports sadden me. Still haven't been back in a number of years, but this place was really gold mine.

At least one of the Pasadita spinoffs, Mini Palapita on Elston a couple blocks south of Seafood City, remains pretty solid, and I say that as someone who didn't care for the original Palapita in Portage Park at all. It is a bit pricey though.
