That restaurant is set to debut on Aug. 11 with a dinner and late-night menu. Puerta is located at 1961 E. 7th St. in Charlotte.
It marks the fourth dining concept in Elizabeth from 1957 Hospitality Group, which also owns and operates The Crunkleton, Rosemont Market & Wine Bar and Cheat’s Cheesesteak Parlor.
Executive Chef Robert “R.J.” Corley — best known for his work at The Debruce in New York — has built a menu focused on fresh and bold flavors. Dishes will honor Mexican culture and be prepared with traditional techniques.
