Former Leal’s Location in Amarillo Finally Gets a New Tenant
This is something I have been waiting for. This prime real estate has been sitting vacant since Leal's closed during the pandemic. Before Leal's, it was the local favorite in Gardski's.
Oh, how I miss both of those restaurants. Since it has been sitting empty they did some remodeling to the outside. That made me sad because when I worked at Gardski's I got to etch my name in the cement.
That is gone now. I saw on Facebook over the weekend that there may be a sign up outside the location. There may be a new place moving in. So I had to drive over to see for myself.
Yes, there is a sign. This is making me happy. A new place to get food. They did take my advice somewhat. We are getting a new restaurant. We are getting a new Mexican food restaurant.
It's called Senor Chubby's Mexican Bar and Grill. They have one in Lubbock. So I had to check out their menu. The first thing I noticed that they will be doing differently that neither Leal's nor Gardski's did is they will be open for breakfast.
So they have breakfast burritos. Oh and breakfast plates too. I also noticed that they have lunch specials depending on the day of the week. Of course, Tuesday will be their taco special for lunch. Because of course, Taco Tuesday.
Check out the whole menu HERE. So I am a bit excited about this. I am hoping that I like it as much as I liked Leal's. I used to go there a lot.
I reached out to their people to see if they had an idea of when they would be opening. I haven't heard back from them yet. I will be waiting.
