trymahjong Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 I've been watching the tear down of the old El Felix, noticed today that the plate glass window from Louis XIV was taken out--- The windows of Cafe Den were smashed earlier in the year and covered in plywood--- maybe that's what happened-- but everything was so "tidy"--is something new going in?

kylejack Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 Felix is going to become Uchi (a sushi restaurant, the original in Austin) and Cafe Den becomes Mexico's Deli (they have a location out on Dairy Ashford). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trymahjong Posted May 26, 2011 Author Share Posted May 26, 2011 Cafe Den becomes Mexico's Deli (they have a location out on Dairy Ashford).I talked to the manager at Aladin's about Mexico's Deli going in--he said that fell through because of high rent.

Hope they're able to match the existing stucco when it's rebuilt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dbigtex56 Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 The rebuilding of Felix continues; I'm heartened that they're staying faithful to the original design. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
