Frequenters of Frazier Avenue have seen restaurants come and go at street number 207, the space between Art Creations and Delmont Street. But the newly opened Taconooga hopes to stay.
The Mexican restaurant keeps its focus on authenticity, said Armando Castro, who owns the restaurant with his wife, Jenny.
The duo brightened up the spot with blue and orange walls decorated with paintings by local artist Bradley Wilson, who also created the shop’s logo in the front window.
A lime tree, heavy with fruit, even peeks out from a front window, and basil and cilantro plants sit happily in side windows. The fresh herbs are used in the shop’s recipes.
