Last month, we told you that Ariel Barrios, one of the owners behind Porfirio's Mexican Restaurant in Anamosa, was working on a couple of new restaurants in Eastern Iowa. One of those restaurants is located here in Cedar Rapids, and we're happy to report that it is now welcoming customers!
It's the holiday season, so I've been going out to eat a LOT lately. There have been all sorts of celebrations and events happening these past few weeks, and a busy schedule means that I just don't feel like cooking. That's ok, though, because I've been able to support some amazing local restaurants!
Over the course of the nine years that I've lived here in Eastern Iowa, I've eaten at some amazing local restaurants. Unfortunately, not all of those restaurants have survived.
Big Grove Brewery in Cedar Rapids will officially open to the public next Thursday, December 14th, but we were lucky enough to get a look inside the new space a little bit early!
