This past weekend, a decades-old Tex-Mex restaurant in Somerville closed its doors forever, and now we have learned that a new spot is moving into the space.
According to an article in The Boston Globe, The Hollows is planning to open in the former Rudy's Cafe space in Teele Square, with Charlie Redd of Dragon Pizza in Davis Square and business partners Doug Sherman and Bridget Zerner being behind it. Little information on the upcoming place has been given other than Redd telling the Globe that it will be a "neighborhood haunt" and that "I'm excited to get back into the approachability of craft cooking. We're not doing a lot of heavy construction. It's got great bones, and we're preserving a lot of the patina that's there, keeping the fireplace." It isn't known exactly when The Hollows might open, though the article says that the trio will take over the space sometime this spring.
Rudy's first opened in 1982, offering such options as nachos, tacos, burritos, enchiladas, quesadillas, and chimichangas, and it was also known in part for its margaritas.
The address for The Hollows is 248 Holland Street, Somerville, MA, 02144.
