From their Facebook page:

This journey began with family — inspired by our beloved grandmother. We are deeply grateful for your loyalty, support, and love through the years. You’ve made Copal more than a restaurant — you’ve made it a family.
If you’d like to support us one last time, we’ll be open through the end of November, with November 30th marking our final day of service.
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for being part of the Copal story.
With love and gratitude,
The Copal Mexican Cuisine Family

That is very sad news. The food was excellent, and they have one of the best patios in Omaha for dining. It has the closest resemblance (both in atmosphere as well as their menu) of all the Mexican restaurants in Omaha to the newer Mexican cuisine restaurants we frequent in Mexico.

I did hear (rumor alert!) that they're getting a new chef and rebranding and a new restaurant will reopen in the existing space and most of the staff will be keeping their jobs. I presume the ownership will also change.

Management stated on social media that their chef would be helping to create a new restaurant, not Mexican, at the same location.
