The downtown mall was missing a Mexican Restaurant. I know that everyone seems to love Guadalajara and that it’s not that far of a walk from downtown, but it will be nice to have a Mexican Restaraunt on the mall. The new Restaurant will occupy the old Kiki location and construction is […]
Update: The scheduled soft opening of March 4th was postponed. The new opening date is the 13th. The restaurant is starting to look ready. I like the addition of the wooden fence around the block too, it makes the area look a lot nicer. The chairs are all stacked inside the […]
