The land that he bought behind the building was zoned residential so he was having a hard time getting that changed to being zoned commercial by the County. Also the neighborhoods were excited for a new restaurant but what happened was his food was below par and there was no amazing service to go with the not very good food. A good sitdown Mexican restaurant could do well there if the food and serive was good.CDnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6246743662284890173.post-59261766689492052652013-08-27T10:39:10.785-04:002013-08-27T10:39:10.785-04:00The BOS needs to realize that Annandale is endange...The BOS needs to realize that Annandale is endangered. To save it, they need to draw the denser developer promised in the development plan, and to do that they need to implement the Complete Streets focused transportation plan. Cmon Penny, this can't keep getting kicked down the road.

I would love to see a nice sit down Mexican Food restaurant go in. There is a huge need for a good sit down restuarant in Annandale. I agree they need Pina Colodas and Margaritas. The place is beautiful but they put all their money in to the decor and not the food. What I do not understand is why they did not take tips from the customers and improve.

I did wonder if there was enough business, however... it's not as though Annandale has a shortage of restaurants.<br /><br />And it's a shame that nothing has yet gone into the old Bloom store, which seems like a good location to me. We could use a Trader Joe's or -- here's a wild and crazy idea -- an Aldi. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
