Cinco de Mayo returns where it started with a new Downtown location expected to open in the former Olio space at 301 E. Bay St. by the end of the year.
In 2007 Rodolfo and Maria Torres-Leon opened their first Cinco de Mayo in the Jacksonville Landing. By December they will have nine Cinco de Mayo locations.
A new one at 11101 Old St. Augustine Road is expected to open this month.
Rodolfo and Maria Torres-Leon formed Torres Leon Properties LLC on Aug. 24 and purchased the ground-floor Olio restaurant space Sept. 22 for $1,337,500. Olio closed in March 2022 after 12 years.
“We are very, very happy to come back to Downtown again. We already have plenty of customers there. They were sad when we left there,” Maria Torres-Leon said.
