Mi Tortilla out, Cafe Rio in
While larger restaurants seem to do well at Redlands' Citrus Plaza, the center doesn't seem to be as kind to smaller eateries.
Z Pizza was in and out in what seemed like record time and while Mi Tortilla Mexican Grill lasted a while longer, it too is gone.
In its place will be Utah-based Cafe Rio Mexican Grill.
Cafe Rio has a handful of locations here in Southern California -- Oxnard, Manhattan Beach, Costa Mesa, Tustin and Lake Forest -- and will soon be opening in Lakewood, as well as Redlands.
The Redlands restaurant, 27510 Lugonia Ave., will be their sole Inland Empire location.
Until I saw the signs in the window, I had never heard of Cafe Rio.
How about you? Have you been to any of their other locations? Feel free to comment below.
Checking out their blog, I noticed that they gave away free food when they opened their Manhattan Beach store, and collected donations for the P.S. I Love You Foundation, a local charity.
Will they do something similar here? Let's hope so!
