CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — A well-known Corpus Christi restaurant has a new owner.

Kiko’s Mexican Restaurant on Everhart Street has been sold to Bret Wenzel. The longtime customer says he plans to keep the same name and menu that locals have loved for years.

“I’ve been eating here for the last 15 years, and everything is great just the way it is,” Wenzel said. “We were lucky.”
