Ascencio came to the U.S. from Jalisco, Mexico at 17 years old to live the “American dream” and worked at a Mexican restaurant called El Dorado, that was once located where the Xenia Los Mariachis is today. In 2016, he opened his own restaurant at 2632 Colonel Glenn Highway.
He would like to thank his customers for their support over the last almost eight years in that location.
“They’re the best customers we have had,” Ascencio said.
In October 2023, Ascencio opened his second restaurant location at 175 Hospitality Drive in Xenia. This location will remain open 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Monday through Thursday, 11 a.m. to 10:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday and 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Sunday. The Xenia restaurant has a full liquor license and can serve liquor on Sundays.
Ascencio said things are getting better in the restaurant industry, but “it was hard to recover from Covid.”
