The Fat Cactus Opening in Lynnfield

It looks like a Mexican restaurant will soon be opening on Route 1 in Lynnfield. According to one of our readers (and confirmed by a check on superpages.com), The Fat Cactus Mexicali Cantina will be opening in the spot near the Saugus line where Lucille's Fine Chicken used to be (and before that, The Naked Fish). Over the past several weeks, various online job listings have directed applicants to the 325 Broadway address in Lynnfield, which is home to the Bostonville Grille, and several of our readers have told us that a Bostonville Grille vehicle has been seen in the parking lot of The Fat Cactus, so it seems likely that the Bostonville Grille is indeed behind this new spot.

[November 6 update: According to the Lynnfield News, the Lynnfield Board of Selectmen approved several licenses for the Fat Cactus, and the opening of the place should be fairly soon. The restaurant will have a bar area as well as a couple of back rooms with video games and pool tables, and entertainment may include live mariachi music. The article also mentions that the Fat Cactus is planning on having a Sunday Mexican buffet brunch.]

[February 22 update: According to the restaurant's Facebook page, the Fat Cactus will be opening on Friday, February 26.]

The address for this Mexican restaurant north of Boston is: The Fat Cactus, 215 Broadway (Route 1), Lynnfield, MA, 01940.

Thanks to our readers for helping us put together this information.
