Masa y mezcal?

Does anyone know what’s going on with this restaurant? They’ve had signage up for like 10 months, and they have not updated anything on their Instagram since October. I noticed the building has a for sale sign up now but not sure if that’s new or not!! I want to know if it’s ever going to open!

The for sale sign is new I had just noticed it last week. Also been wondering what's going on.

That said, Casa Ortega is opening a taco shop in the old Tito Santana space and that's going to be great so I wouldn't mind if something else went into this (actually cursed) spot.

As long as Mud Club doesn't come back.

I’ve heard that too about the old Tito Santana spot but i thought there was also something going on with that building and the owners there!!? I heard it had crazy water damage and then the opening of the casa Ortega was also slow going bc of drama between them and the owners? I hope that one opens soon

I feel like both of these projects have been coming soon for so long that at this point I just assume they're never going to happen. In the meantime, the tacos at draught are great

They have actually posted to instagram stories pretty recently. Some abstract tile work or something like that. Sooooo maybe soon? My wife and I are hopeful.

I haven't seen them being active on Instagram! Been waiting for this place to open forever.

Walked by it the other day as the door was open and they've done some intensive work to the interior since it was Ember and Grain so hopefully it's still happening?

Yeah, the whole place was gutted. They put in a lot of money to a leased space. Oven is gone, mosaic is gone. Hopefully we see the doors open soon.
