I'm sure that competition didn't help either. Hola did okay with Cafe Madrid just down the street, but the steady crowds at the more recently opened Sangria (also just down the street) must have been detrimental to Hola's business too.
With 3 Spanish restaurants (and the only 3 inside of LBJ for that matter) being located within a half mile of one another, it was only a matter of time before one closed shop. Hola had the least desireable location, so it's not surprising that it was the one to go.
The same thing claimed Il Sole last week ... too many Italian restaurants, too close together, vying for the same customers. Unfortunately, in that case, the (undisputably) superior restaurant was the one to go.

GWAR / Kingdom of Sorrow / Toxic Holocaust Only lead singer Oderus Urungus (aka Dave Brockie) has stuck around since GWAR's start 23 years ago, but the huge costumes, raunchy and obscene lyrics, and fluids spraying into the audience are sure to be on full display as the metal band makes its return to Dallas.

I've been going to Chip's on Cole for almost 8 years (I went weekly for the 5 years that I lived a few doors down). I'll be very sad to see it go. Their food was consistently good, and their atmosphere was/is fantastic. Also, I enjoyed seeing the same folks behind the counter all of these years. They were a great service staff that gave their customers top-notch service for a hamburger joint. I hope that they're all able to find new jobs quickly.
