Openings: Chichen Itzá on 10th Street

Chichen Itzá is now open at 277 E. 10th St. between Avenue A and First Avenue.

We don't know too much about the Mexican restaurant. (We heard that it was affiliated with the now-closed Chichen Itzá Mexican Grill in Sunset Park.)

There are photocopies (of photocopies?) of the menu out front for passersby... there are plenty of standbys here, including variety of tacos and chicken enchiladas...
They are open from 3-10:30 p.m. Sunday-Wednesday with an 11 p.m. close Thursdays through Saturdays. Chichen Itzá also offers a weekend brunch service from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. And a beer-wine license is in the works.

This address was home for 11 years to the Brindle Room, whose closure was made official in June. Owner Jeremy Spector told us that he is looking for a new location for his restaurant that served "eclectic comfort food."

    Sounds good and I love straight-up Mexican, but FYI Chichen Itza is in the Yucatan and their local cuisine is Mayan, so it's different than what's on this menu.

    Shrug, it does say Mexican restaurant, not Mayan restaurant.

    I passed by the other day & it looks good. I just wish there were some type of vegetables available.

    Looks like this one is already changing... there is now a sign posted on the window advertising an incoming café. Not sure if it's the same owners re-thinking their plan (maybe they didn't get a liquor license and needed to pivot?) or they are handing it over to a new team.
