Out of Stadium & Into 6th Ave. for El Guadalajara?
It appears that the Stadium District El Guadalajara may be moving to the center of the 6th Ave. Business District. Tres Ramos El Guadalajara Inc. has applied for a restaurant liquor license with a new location at 3002 6th Ave. and appears to be taking place of the Neighborhood Market (previously on Tacoma Untapped. A business license check for the current location, on Tacoma Ave. in the Stadium Business District, says it has closed. The building where the Stadium District location was located is owned by X Square Investments II, which is ran by John & Luke Xitco, owners of Asado and Masa. Rumors from a few years ago were that X Group wanted to put an Italian restaurant in the Stadium District building once Guadalajara was gone.
El Guadalajara was recently in the news because they were required to install a sprinkler system in the building due to new nightclub laws but hadn’t done so yet. The Stadium District location has a dance floor in the bar portion of the building.
UPDATE: It appears El Guadalajara may be going into the back section of the building where Neighborhood Market is located.
Minoela Coming Soon
The details are in on the new wine bistro, Minoela, opening in the St Helens neighborhood. As previously reported on Tacoma Untapped , Minoela will be located in the Merlino Art Center building off 6th Ave. and Fawcett Ave. , next to the Grand Cinema.

New Restaurant in the St. Helens?
It looks like the St. Helens neighborhood in Downtown Tacoma may be seeing a new restaurant soon. A company called Jericho Development, LLC has applied for a beer/wine restaurant liquor license. The restaurants name is Minoela and will be located in the former One Heart Cafe location at the Merlino Arts Center. Not much more info on the place other than that.
I am also working on a few other neighborhood restaurant rumors, so stay tuned!
Southern Kitchen Not Coming to Fern Hill?
Maybe the South End won’t be getting their catfish and potato cakes. The former Fern Hill Coffee House location was set to become Southern Kitchen’s second Tacoma location with a planned opening this Spring. Now the space is back up for lease on Craigslist. I have been telling some friends and family about Southern Kitchen opening in Fern Hill and they were pretty excited. Did the owner find another location?

Capers Downtown to become Iseman
A new liquor application was taken out for the former (? didn’t know they closed) Capers Downtown location at 701 Pacific Ave., below Suite133. The new establishment will be Iseman. I am told the Capers Downtown is no longer connected in any way to the Capers Take Home in Proctor.
The owner of Iseman looks to be the same owner of HY-IU-HEE-HEE in Gig Harbor which seems to be a happening tavern that specializes in pizza and wings.
