The owners of Zea/Semolina are opening new restaurant at the old Semolina's location on Metairie Road. Anyone hear anything about this place?

ETA:

quote:

“We’ll be doing Latin American, but definitely not Tex-Mex,” says Greg Reggio, one of the partners in Cocina Mizado. “Don’t expect combo platters and chips and salsa that hit the table as soon as you walk in. We have enough of those around town.”

Instead, Reggio says, the menu will draw broadly from Mexican, Caribbean and Central American traditions and give them modern twists, while working in contemporary Peruvian flavors, which already pack quite a lot of their own fusion factors between Asian, Andean and Spanish influences.

Haven't herad anyhting but what was said on this site. But, excited that it is a good place. Very close to my house and I pass it for work everyday. Was always a shame that that location sat empty.

I haven't heard anything more than what you just posted. One of my customers is working on that site.

I remeber reading something on here about it. It wasn't much, just mentioned the owners and the cuisine. Your link has much more information than the thread i remeber reading.

This would be a nice addition if done correctly. This city has next to zero decent latin food. Maya's is about the only good one, and it rarely gets talked about on this board. I welcome the attempt by the tastebuds!!

Maybe they will bring back the massive crawfish to hang over I-10, or change it to an empanda...

A Latino Bob's Big Boy figure would be awesome.

You obviously missed Restaurant Telemar.

This sounds like a lot of fusion.

Hope the building isn't as ugly as it looks in that picture.

BO- I sure did miss it. It looks like it was on Earhart and Carrolton? What happened to it?

I think it's one of the "hidden jewels" in NOLA. Ok, not hidden but it's rarely mentioned, considering it's the only decent Latin spot in town. The lechon entree is so good, I struggle to order anything else. Love Maya's!!

Not trying to hijack here, but if anyone is going to the Magazine St. Dishcrawl (I'm not) Maya's if the first stop.
