A new taqueria for 221 2nd Ave.

"Openin' Up Soon" signage is now on the storefront at 221 Second Ave. for Wayne & Sons...
The Wayne & Sons Instagram account notes, "We're bringing Crunchy Tacos, Frozen Margaritas, Good Music, Textopos, Cold Beer, Queso, and Breakfast Tacos to the East Village!" (And the breakfast tacos are available all day.) 

We don't know who's behind this Tex-Mex-style taqueria (aside from Wayne and his sons!), which appears to be a new brand. (There's only one Instagram post about it; only a little else is available about the establishment.) 

Wayne & Sons takes over the space from Dear Rufino, another taco shop that was only in operation for a few months before moving to West 50th Street in the spring. 

Sincerely, Ophelia, the speakeasy in the back of the address remains in operation.

Good luck, seems that landlord has a mind of their own. Let a local establishment like Finnertys walk. Then Chicken & Egg spent nearly a year in renovations to only be around for a year. Then Dear Rufino opened and dealt with maintenance issues that shut them down and open up somewhere else. Good luck to these guys.
