Get ready for más Mexican. The owners of Espino’s Mexican Bar & Grill in Chesterfield Valley are opening another eatery. Senora Espinos Taquería will open soon in O’Fallon, Mo., at 840 Bryan Road just off of I-70 in the space formerly occupied by Cappuccino’s Coffee Cafe.
According to an employee at Espino’s – which was recently featured on an episode of the Food Network’s Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives – the menu at Senora Espinos Taquería will be an abbreviated rendition of that offered at its sister restaurant. The fast-casual eatery is expected to open in mid-February.
In addition, Ian Froeb of the Riverfront Times reported that El Paisano Mexican Bar & Grill is coming to 5916 Delmar Blvd. Located just east of the Delmar MetroLink station near the intersection at Hamilton Avenue, the space was most recently home to the Twisted Olive. Froeb noted that the restaurant may have ties to El Paisano restaurants on Watson Road in Lindenwood Park as well as in Arnold and High Ridge, Mo., because the signage bears the same logo.
