Los Alebrijes Is Opening in the Former La Cancun Restaurant Space in East Boston

A new restaurant that looks like it will focus at least in part on Mexican food is coming to East Boston, and it will move into a space where a Mexican and Salvadorian dining spot had been.

According to a source, a sign is up for Los Alebrijes at a storefront on Sumner Street in Maverick Square that had formerly been home to La Cancun Restaurant, with a "coming soon" sign in the window. Very little information on the upcoming eatery can be found at this point in time, though the term "Alebrijes" refers to Mexican folk art, so it may be featuring Mexican dishes (as soon as we get more information on the place, we will post an update here).

The address for Los Alebrijes (and the now-closed La Cancun Restaurant is 192 Sumner Street, East Boston, MA, 02128.

[April 9, 2024 update: According to a poster within the Friends of Boston's Hidden Restaurants Facebook group page, Los Alebrijes is now open.]
