Longtime downtown Ellsworth Mexican eatery The Mex announced on Wednesday that it has closed, effective immediately. According to a post on the restaurant’s Facebook page, the decision to close was due to it being the right time to “turn a new page.” The Mex opened in 1979, in an era when there were very few Mexican restaurants in Maine. Over the decades, owner Bruce Wardwell has kept a steady menu of classic Mexican-American dishes.
