“Paco [Villar] and I are really excited for this new location,” says Soriano. “It’s been a very difficult two years. But even during the pandemic, we’ve been so grateful for all of our regulars and the support that we’ve received from everyone.
“We’re excited to give people a taste of what we do Downtown,” he says. “And hopefully they’ll come and visit us on Brady Street as well.”
