California-based brand solita Tacos & Margaritas is planning to make its Florida debut in Orlando, according to a report from the Orlando Business Journal. This will be the brand’s first departure from their home state of California.
The new restaurant will be taking the unit left vacant by Wahlburgers at 200 S Orange Avenue. At this busy and well-traveled address, solita will neighbor Cucina Pizza & Bar, Latin Square Cuisine and DT Café. The restaurant will occupy a 5,300 square foot space that is owned by Piedmont Office Realty Trust Inc.
The report cites that solita plans to open in late 2022. The company Xperience Restaurant Group operates the solita brand, and What Now reached out to Chief Operating Officer Mike Alasaad, who declined to provide more specific information.
The brand aims to bring their signature drinks and tacos to Central Florida, along with the culture of Southern California. Per their website: “solita Tacos & Margaritas is about everything that makes us happy: great Mexican food, dynamite margaritas, and Southern California’s laid-back lifestyle.”
