A couple of things I’ve noticed while doing my “rounds” recently.
Coco Bomb is now replacing Juewei:
Well, while doing a recent takeout revisit to Eastern Dynasty, I noticed that the “coming soon” sign over what used to be Juewei had changed. Back in March, I noted that LA Hot Duck was replacing Juewei, but I guess that’s gone awry. Now it says that Coco Bomb….which I believe has a location in Linda Vista is replacing Juewei.
Which leaves me wondering if the opening of Spicy Duck in the 99 Ranch Market Food Court affected this decision? Kind of a bummer, because personally, I think we need more of those types of businesses here.

La Perla has replaced Super Mario’s:
On my most recent shopping trip to Nijiya, I noticed a “Under New Ownership” sign over what was….for a short time Super Mario’s…and for what was for a longer time Palomino’s. Kind of a bummer….
So, it looks like the La Perla empire is expanding. We’ll see how this goes; because it seems, at least to me that La Perla has been quick to open….then suddenly close their shops….

Gourmet Artisan has closed:
It had been a while since I’d been to Gourmet Artisan…so I thought I’d order a sandwich; but strangely, their website wasn’t working. So, I thought I’d drive past to see what was up….well…it seems that they have closed.
I guess I shouldn’t be overly surprised as the last time I visited, they were using their location as a pseudo commercial kitchen of sorts. Still, it’s a place that I had visited on a regular basis before….but I guess just not often enough.

So that center is going to have more dessert places than hot pot. š
Lol Franklin! That’s true!
Been to the LV location of Coco and thought it was Ono. Nice addition!
Good to know Kimo!
So that’ll be three pretty well known Mexican places on Convoy; Taco Stand, La Perla and El Viejon….not to mention places like Super Sergio as well
This is going to be fascinating
Yep, the competition is ramping up Loren! And let’s not forget El Gordo (which I understand is not related to Tacos El Gordo) and Yesenia’s….among others…..
I like Coco Bomb and it looks like they outgrew their space since sometimes I see a line out the door.
Super Mario didnāt last long. I swear, after Palominoās left, that space seems like itās cursed. I loved Palominoās Chile Verde Pork and still havenāt found another place as good. The place right after it had awful Chile Verde Pork. I tried giving Super Mario a chance but their chili verde pork was worse. It was basically carnitas covered in green chili sauce. I hope La Perla fares better. If they serve chile verde, it is be my litmus test.
I’ll check the menu when I visit La Perla Denver!
Maybe Nintendo’s lawyers had a little “chat” with the owner about the name Super Mario. Whenever I walk by Coco Bomb it’s usually busy. Glad to hear they’re expanding.
Now that would be quite a story Junichi! Guessing Coco Bomb will do quite well in this spot!
