Popular El Tarasco bar in San Jose shut down

SAN JOSE, Calif. (KGO) -- A San Jose bar, notorious for violence, has been shut down for good.

Agents from the Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control posted a "Notice of Suspension" sign on El Tarasco's front door on Tuesday.

The bar is located at North 13th and East Mission.

Neighbors have fought for its closure for years because of shootings, fights and prostitution arrests.

Last week, San Jose city leaders threatened to fine the owners $25,000 if they didn't close Friday.
