IntheKnowHouston Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 The restaurant at 1401 Montrose Blvd is named Carmalito. I don't know if this is another restaurant from the Mandola family or not. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if this is another restaurant from the Mandola family or not.  Apologies for the wrong name of the business moving into the 1401 Montrose building of former Pronto Cucinino. The name isn't Carmalito but Comalito. It turns out I've been following the restaurant's Instagram for a while, not realizing this is the business opening soon at 1401 Montrose. According to the logo on Comalito's Instagram, this will become a Mexican restaurant. I am uncertain if this will center on a specific regional Mexican cuisine or offer fares ranging from various regions of Mexico. The logo also seems to indicate this will be a taqueria-type concept. Comalito is the latest restaurant from Picos Hospitality. The group's other restaurant includes Arnaldo Richard's Picos located in the Upper Kirby area.  https://instagram.com/comalito.htx Edited July 3, 2022 by IntheKnowHouston 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hindesky Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 All the construction fencing is down and I don't see any exterior changes. I wonder if they stopped whatever construction they were doing? Isn't this a Mandola property? Maybe the sale of the W. Dallas St. site had something to do with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The site was previously home to the Mandola-owned Italian eatery Pronto Cucinino. Comalito was going to be a taqueria concept from Picos Hospitality. The group's other restaurant includes Arnaldo Richard's Picos located in the Upper Kirby area. This was posted yesterday in the unrelated topic Union East: Retail, Office Development At McKinney & Sampson St:   14 hours ago, hindesky said: I asked him (Construction Concepts' site supervisor) why his company left the job at the Mandola's Pronto Cucinino restaurant project on Montrose, he said the owners decided not to go forward with the project.   Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IntheKnowHouston Posted February 8, 2023 Share Posted February 8, 2023 Traveler's Table is opening a dining concept at 1401 Montrose. Named Traveler's Cart, the restaurant aims to open late 2023, according to CultureMap. The fast-casual concept differentiates Traveler's Cart from Traveler's Table, as does the lower price point. What to expect design-wise: "As with Traveler’s Table, Mitchell has turned to Houston’s Gin Design Group to create the interior for Traveler’s Cart. Plans call for design elements that reference markets and street carts from around the world." https://houston.culturemap.com/news/restaurants-bars/travelers-cart-street-food-restaurant-travelers-table-matthew-mitchell-1/ 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
