TIMES SQUARE — Señor Frog’s in Times Square may have served its last margarita.

The Tex-Mex spot at 260 W. 42nd St., between Seventh and Eighth avenues, has closed less than a year after opening, the New York Times reported.

Notes posted on the eatery’s doors read, “Sorry, we are closed.” Its website was also down as of Tuesday.

The chain — known for drawing spring break crowds — has a dozen outposts throughout the U.S. and the Caribbean, including locations in Myrtle Beach, Miami and Cancun, according to its website.

The Times Square location opened last summer, to a review from the Times that expressed minimal enthusiasm about its culinary offerings but raved about the atmosphere.

Spontaneous conga lines, drinks in palm tree-shaped glasses, food served on skateboards and servers performing dance routines were common sights at the venue, Eater reported.

The West 42nd Street outpost, which is not listed on the main Señor Frog’s website, was the chain's only location in the Northeast. 

Señor Frog's management did not respond to requests for comment.
