For those who have been around for a while, you might recall Genaro’s Tropical Mexican Restaurant in the Skillman and La Vista shopping center, or the various Moctezuma’s on McKinney Avenue, and then wasn’t there one on Henderson? It’s a little hard to keep track.
If you’ve seen the “Genaro’s coming soon” sign on the front of the old Washington Mutual Bank building at Abrams and Mockingbird and wondered if that could possibly be the related to the Genaro’s of yesteryear, you would be correct.
Genaro Silva is back in the restaurant biz, although he says he isn’t quite ready to reveal what sort of food/experience we can expect at the new location. If it’s anything like the old place, it’ll be fine-dining Tex-Mex, but I guess we’ll have to wait and see.
For now, Silva’s fixing up the place, which will be a chore considering the location has been a bank building for the past couple of tenants — a Washington Mutual, and then most recently a Chase building. It’s been vacant for the past three years, so it’s nice to see a little life in the windows.
