Plans are to operate an upscale Mexican restaurant in the Packhouse space for lunch and dinner service with late evening hours. It will include fare such as burritos, tacos, enchiladas, fajitas and steaks as well as homemade drinks, from fresh-squeezed lemonades to margaritas and sangrias.

The Joe & Nosh space will become a fast-casual eatery, serving up coffee and pastries in the morning as well lunch and early dinner.
