Takeria HTX, an independently-owned Mexican restaurant closed its doors in the Christina Center.

I'm unsure when the eatery shuttered. However, the restaurant's last response to a one of its reviews on Google was three months ago. 

Takeria HTX was located at 2121 N Main St, Suite A.

Several occupancy permits were purchased Friday for 2121 Main St, Suite A.
 

• 1 story occupancy inspection permit
• Certificate of occupancy permit

Details from the permits:
 

• Use: Occupancy report/ restaurant/ 1,410 sq ft.
• FCC Group: Non-residential alteration

The listed occupant on the permits is Andy's Home Cafe; however, the permits are for a Midtown address. More specifically, the address on the permits pertains to the former Greyhound bus station.

I think the address on the permit may be incorrect.

It's likely Andy's Home Cafe may be leasing a unit in the Christina Center. Perhaps the permit is for 2121 N Main St, Suite A; whose previous occupant was Takeria HTX? Takeria HTX closed recently.

Previously, Andy's Home Cafe was located in the Norhill neighborhood. The restaurant closed its doors at 1115 E 11th St; selling the property to Magnol, a local French bakery.

Andy's Home Cafe as made it known since last summer the restaurant hoped to relocate to Near Northside. More recently, the Tex-Mex eatery shared news they've found a new location.

The restaurant wrote it is "excited to announce [the] next chapter for Andy's" in a social media post earlier this month. Alongside the caption was a video with "coming soon" scrolling across the screen. Andy's signage was also on display.

Andy's didn't reveal the address. However, in a few comments, the restaurant said it was awaiting permits. It's likely the occupancy permits purchased a week and a half ago are for Andy's new home at 2121 N Main St Suite A.

Happy for Andy's.  I'll check out their breakfast again, especially if they offer the early bird specials.   I noticed this new location is considerably smaller than the previous location 1,400 SF vs. 2,600 SF but let's see what they do with it...
