There's a new restaurant serving Mexican and Dominican fare on Third Street.
Alma Mexicana Restaurante recently opened in the former Rossy's Bakery & Café space between Avenue B and Avenue C.
The name translates to "Soul of Mexico."
Owner Luis Cano's restaurant debuted on June 1 and is serving a menu of Mexican and Dominican dishes, including tacos ($3 each or two for $5), pollo guisado platters with rice and beans, plus snacks such as alcapurrias and empanadas.
The restaurant is open Monday through Saturday from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. and is closed on Sundays.
Rossy's Bakery & Café closed in April after 16 years in the neighborhood.
Owner Roselia "Rossy" Caba told us last year that trying to stay affordable while covering costs was no longer sustainable.
