C-viche in Bay View to Close This Month

The restaurant’s Shorewood location will remain open.

The 7-year-old Bay View location of Latin restaurant C-viche (2165 S. Kinnicknnic Ave.) announced on social media today its plans to close in the “upcoming weeks.” The last day of operations is Oct. 22. The post says the staff will move to the Shorewood location “while we are venturing out to look for a new location.” 

Earlier this year, one of C-viche’s owners was charged with multiple counts of sexual assault. Karlos Soriano-Cabrera faces four counts of third-degree sexual assault and one count of fourth-degree sexual assault.

He and partner Paco Villar opened the Shorewood C-viche (4330 N. Oakland Ave.) in November 2022.
