Tequilas?!

From the Register Citizen:

TEQUILAS: Maybe the pieces are falling into place to make downtown Torrington known as a place to go out for dinner and drinks. Opening soon will be Tequilas, a new Mexican restaurant owned by the folks who acquired the landmark Dick’s Restaurant but then struggled to hold on to its loyal but aging regulars. Tequilas will be located in the Dick’s space and an adjoining storefront that is being renovated on East Main on a revitalized “restaurant row” next to Bachi’s and The Venetian.

Now nighttime downtown will have excellent Italian food options with the latter two, Mexican and several solid sit-down establishments offering traditional American menus, including the Cambridge House Brew Pub, 99 and Bogey’s. It will be interesting to see if someone takes the plunge on another ideal restaurant and/or nightclub location, the former Memories on Main space, that is being marketed anew by that building’s owners.

Another positive development for.. well, downtown redevelopment. I think so, at least. Ever been to Tequilas? Is it a chain restaurant? Something interesting and well-worn, or an after thought when you want to get hammered somewhere without those beer-snobs at the Cambridge Brew House? I count myself among that ilk, by the way. Beer-snobbery, that is. But I digress..

Is it something like this?

Maybe.. this?

Or.. more likely something like this establishment?

Love the animated cacti. Well this looks to complete an interesting 'Torrington Mexican Triangle', between Tequilas, Dos Amigos and Northern Galapagos.



Now if only our coffee shops could learn to appreciate this sort of elbow room : ) On the scale of a city block, at least.
