A cryptic post on Potager’s Facebook page stated that the owner, Cynthia Chippendale, was visited by the owner of the pizza restaurant which previously occupied Potager’s space on 315 Mesquite. He says he has purchased the building and plans to open a pizza/beer place in the next two months.
Mi Tierra was one of the few Puerto Rican restaurants in the metroplex, and this restaurant recently closed. The loss of Potager would deliver a major blow to the dining community in the Arlington. I’m personally a big fan of Potager and have had many outstanding meals there. The response to the restaurant’s Facebook page earlier today reminded me of the intense discussion on their Chowhound thread. It’s nice to know that there are many supporters for Cynthia’s ambitious restaurant!
