We were skeptical when we heard this, but optimistic.
Anyway, realizing that this date came and went, we recently walked by the storefront and like a true stalker put our eye to the window to see if we could notice anything. Since the last time we went by it appears that some progress has been made. We noticed tools scattered around the place and even saw something that looked like blueprints.
Does anyone have additional information on the restaurant?
The "Coming Soon" signs were displayed on the windows in July of 2011, but they probably should have said "Coming Eventually". Regardless, hopefully Spanglish will be worth the wait.
I saw some people working in there last week. I had a sneak peak at the menu, and I can't wait! Mexican breakfast! YUM!
