Marianna’s Tacos y Palentas
A new restaurant offering authentic Mexican cuisine is coming to Springfield.
Marianna’s Tacos y Palentas will open towards the end of July or early August, owner Jose Hernadez said.
“This will be something Springfield has never seen,” Hernadez said. “This is something that people usually have to travel to Cincinnati or Columbus for.”
Located at 1706 E. Main St., Marianna’s will be directly across the street from Los Mariachis.
Hernadez said he is excited to welcome the Springfield community to authentic Mexican cuisine.
While the menu for the restaurant is still begin finalized, Hernadez said, the restaurant will offer things like elotes, ice cream treats, tacos and Cheetos walking tacos.
Cassano’s
Cassano’s will be holding a grand opening on Monday, July 29, for the updated Springfield location at 2123 S. Limestone St.
According to signs outside the restaurant and to restaurant employees, the dinning room of the pizza chain is already open for business.
The new store, which was built directly next to the old store, includes a pickup window, a more modern and spacious dining room and a better kitchen, CEO Chip Cassano said previously.
Construction on the restaurant began earlier this year.
