Casa Mexicana bought Coletta’s former Appling Road restaurant in Bartlett in early September, co-owner Lisa Coletta said. It closed in July after 28 years, but Coletta’s catering will continue and the business retains its original Memphis location.
Coletta said she considered the sale a good move and wished Casa Mexicana luck. Coletta’s original location is at 1063 S. Parkway in Memphis and is 103 years old. Casa Mexicana has other locations across the Memphis area and Mid-South, including Collierville, East Memphis, Southaven, Olive Branch and Atoka.
