St. Davids popular food truck, Nacho Business, has closed for the season, but Niagara-on-the-Lake residents don’t need to worry about missing out on their favourite Mexican food.
Nacho Business owners Elizabeth Valencia and Raul Ojeda, who also own the popular Mexican restaurant Chile and Agave on Hartzel Road in St. Catharines, have set up shop at the old Lawrenceville/Twisted Vine site in Virgil.
Twisted Bar Mexican Cuisine is set to open the weekend of Nov. 8, said Chile and Agave manager Laurie Lougheed, and will offer “home-made tortillas, nachos, enchiladas, and tacos.”
The licensed bar will offer local wine and spirits and will host 18 taps for local and Canadian draft beer.
Elizabeth and Raul operated a restaurant in Mexico before moving to the area in 2010. The following year, they opened the bright and colourful Chile and Agave.
Twisted Bar Mexican will be a more relaxed and casual dining bar, with “low lighting, and lots of greenery,” said Loughheed, and it will still have a “Mexican feel.”
The outside of the restaurant has been painted with a bright mural by Toronto artist Alex Noya. He hopes that his art lights “up this emblematic place and represents the whole essence of what NOTL is, with a little Mexican touch.”
Hours of operation are from 11 a.m. until 10 p.m. Monday through Thursday, and they will stay open an hour longer on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
And don’t worry, the food truck will return to St. Davids next spring, Loughheed assured The Local.
