Dos Manos to Open Brick-and-Mortar Location at the Charles River Speedway in Brighton

The people behind a popup business that features Salvadoran pupusas are going to be opening their very own restaurant.

According to an article from boston.com, Dos Manos is planning to open at the Charles River Speedway on Western Avenue in Brighton, with Edwin and Alexis Orellana bringing the Somerville-based business to a space where they also have had a popup. The article mentions that the brick-and-mortar location of the eatery will move into the space where Rite Tea & Espresso Bar had been until moving to a bigger space within the development and being rebranded as Linger. If all goes as planned, Dos Manos will open sometime in mid-May.
