Another La Rosita taqueria planned for Grant Line Road, near NABC.

I'm told that there'll be a resurrection of the original La Rosita's taqueria concept, this time located on Grant Line Road in the older strip mall across from the school (K-Mart side of the street).

That's just down the way from NABC, Rich O's and Sportstime. Our 40 employees already are salivating. Israel says that the bill of fare will be simple -- tacos, burritos and quesadillas -- as it was when he first opened the Charlestown Road taqueria.

There have easily been a dozen different eateries in the Grantline Center location during the past fifteen years, and in the neighborhood, we jokingly refer to it as the Bermuda Triangle of restaurants. It probably is more indicative of the reality that typically undercapitalized operators seek a cheap spot, find it, and remain as undercapitalized as before.

A big difference this time is that Israel already has established two reputations for brilliance in Mexican food, first at the original taqueria, and later at his current Market Street storefront, with its gloriously expanded menu.

Verily, any kitchen of his automatically qualifies as a destination business, and I suspect he'll do just fine on Grant Line Road.

I can feel the waistline expanding already.
