WICHITA — There’s a new Mexican restaurant coming to the northwest corner of Maple and West streets where Dog-N-Shake was and where Long John Silver’s used to be.
Abelardo Gonzalez is opening Abelardo’s in about two weeks.
He has four of the restaurants in Omaha and one in Spokane, Wash. They all serve what he calls authentic Mexican cuisine.
Don Arnold of NAI John T. Arnold Associates handled the deal.
He likes Gonzalez’s plans.
“He’s going to be a great asset to the neighborhood,” Arnold says.
The restaurant will have a drive-through and be open 24 hours a day.
It’s likely the first of several here for Gonzalez.
“That’s the idea, to open more restaurants here,” he says. “I hope people want to try it.”
