Wacky Voice Recording From Wicker Park's Kokopelli Says The Shuttered Restaurant 'Sucks Ass'

We've been in this business for a while now, and we've never seen anything like this: Kokopelli, the Mexican spot in Wicker Park, has closed, and their final voice message to customers? We suck ass.

Eater Chicago tipped us off to this, and we had to call and see for ourselves.

The transcript of the message is as follows (It's slightly different from Eater's - whether that's the result of a typo or a changed voicemail, it's not clear).

"Hey, this is Kokopelli and we don't know how to pay our bills or take care of our customers so we suck ass so much we had to close down. If you leave a voicemail we won't return it anyway. Have a good day!"

The perky ending really is the kicker. If you want to call and hear for yourself, the number is (773) 698-7670.

Kokopelli has only been open for a year, and we suspect they aren't coming back.
