Cork & Fork, the Belle Isle restaurant in the strip at Conway Road and Hoffner Avenue, will become an El Potro Mexican Restaurant, the chainlet’s fourth. EP’s website says that it will happen in fall 2021. This seems like a good time to mention that winter begins Dec. 21.

I don’t know if that means they will open in the 10 days following Dec. 21 or if the winter target buys them time until spring (March 22). The only existing Cantina Catrina – can we just call it Cantrina? – is at Dadeland Mall, so apparently the owners like to go where the shoppers are. But the Florida Mall location, rendering at top, at least will not be in the food court. Excuse me – dining pavilion. It will be at the entrance and will offer indoor and outdoor dining.
