Casa Cana in Allston-Brighton Is Reopening with a New Taqueria/Tequila Bar Concept

A Latin restaurant and rum bar located inside a hotel across from the Charles River is getting ready to reopen, and when it does it will have a new concept.

According to a press release, Casa Cana in Allston-Brighton is planning to open back up on May 5 as a taqueria and tequila bar, with the Soldiers Field Road spot offering such options as tacos, nachos, burritos, and guacamole along with beer, wine, cocktails, and an array of tequila options. The dining spot first opened within the Studio Allston Hotel in the summer of 2018, featuring nuevo latino fare as well as rum-based drinks in its original incarnation, with the food having Central American, South American, and Caribbean influences.

Little Rose and Rosita to Open in Former Kamakura Space in Downtown Boston

A well-known local chef and restaurateur is opening a dining spot and bar in the heart of Boston, and it will be taking over the space where a Japanese restaurant had been.

According to an article from Boston Magazine, Michael Serpa (Select Oyster Bar, Grand Tour) is planning to open Little Rose in the Kamakura space on State Street along the northern edge of the city's Financial District, with a rooftop bar called Rosita opening there as well. The post mentions that the setup for Little Rose will include a counter-service burrito spot at street level and a full-service dining room on the second level that offers such items as tacos and quesadillas, while the more "swank" Little Rose will be a tequila and mezcal bar set up within a seventh-floor rooftop space (accessed by an elevator) that offers ceviches and more from its snack-based menu. No specific opening date has been given as of yet for Little Rose and Rosita, but the hope is for it to open sometime in 2021.

Serpa is also working on another new restaurant called Atlantico, which will be a seafood spot in the former Southern Proper space on Harrison Avenue in the South End.

Bruno's Bar + Burger in Lynn to Become Bruno's Tequila Bar & Cocina

by Marc Hurwitz

A burger spot that temporarily closed a few years ago has apparently closed for good, and it looks like a Mexican restaurant with a somewhat similar name will replace it.

According to a poster within the Friends of Boston's Hidden Restaurants Facebook group along with a couple of sources, Bruno's Bar + Burger in Lynn is no longer in business, with this being confirmed within the North Shore Eats Facebook group. Another poster within the Friends of Boston's Hidden Restaurants thread mentions that a new spot called Bruno's Tequila Bar & Cocina is taking over the Western Avenue space, and a Facebook page for the place shows that it will indeed be opening there, classifying itself as a Mexican restaurant and saying that it will be "serving the freshest Mexican and Latin food with rumba and drink of all types!" The poster says that the new spot could be opening sometime next month, though no specific opening date has been given as of yet.

Bruno's Bar + Burger, which first opened in early 2015, closed its doors in August of 2016 but reopened--apparently under new ownership--a couple of months later.

The address for the upcoming Bruno's Tequila Bar & Cocina is 858 Western Avenue, Lynn, MA, 01905. Its Facebook page is at https://www.facebook.com/brunostequilabar/

[June 19 update: A Facebook post from the place indicates that Bruno's Tequila Bar & Cocina has its grand opening on Saturday, June 22.]
