Last fall it was reported that a popular restaurant in Jamaica Plain had shut down after nearly 30 years in operation and it would be replaced by a new dining spot, and now we have learned that the new place has opened its doors.
According to a poster within the Friends of Boston's Hidden Restaurants Facebook group page, Abuela's Table is now open in the Former El Oriental de Cuba space on Centre Street, and as mentioned here earlier, the co-owner/chef of Tu y Yo in Somerville is behind the place. The new restaurant--which debuted late last week--offers flautas, empanadas, Mexican street corn, tamales, tacos, enchiladas, quesadillas, and more.
El Oriental de Cuba had been known for such items as its Cuban sandwich, paella, grilled skirt steak, fried pork chops, chicken fricassee, and braised oxtail.
The address for El Oriental de Cuba (and the upcoming Abuela's Table) is 416 Centre Street, Jamaica Plain, MA, 02130.
