The San Bernardino Shrimp Shack Cajun Fusion location has closed.
However, its owners have a plan for the restaurant.
The eatery, 1725 W. Northpark Blvd., Suite A4, is being transformed into University Ave Pizzeria.
If the owners are smart, they’ll make it a quick-serve pizza restaurant, a la MOD Pizza, Pieology and Blaze Pizza, since there are none of those types of pizza restaurants in San Bernardino.
Shrimp Shack locations in Haven City Market in Rancho Cucamonga and the Riverside Food Lab remain open.
Now open in San Bernardino
Next door to the former Shrimp Shack, Mita’s Mexican Food has opened at 1725 W. Northpark Blvd., Suite A3.
The location was previously home to another Haven City Market restaurant, Ibasa.
Mita’s offers typical Mexican food options including tacos, enchiladas, flautas and burritos, including footlong, three-foot and six-foot varieties.
The restaurant also hosts a burrito challenge, where diners attempt to eat a whole three-foot burrito in 25 minutes.
Salads are also available.
Mita’s is open 10:30 a.m.-6 p.m. Monday though Friday and 11 a.m.-5 p.m. Saturday.
New in Eastvale
Ice cream and drinks shop Nobibi has expanded into Eastvale.
The shop, which offers soft-serve ice cream treats and boba drinks opened recently in the Cravings by 99 Ranch food hall at 4296 Hamner Ave., Suite 103.
Hours are noon-8 p.m. Sunday, 3-9 p.m. Monday, noon-9 p.m. Tuesday through Thursday, and noon-10 p.m. Friday and Saturday.
The chain’s other Inland Empire locations are in Pomona, Claremont and Chino Hills.
Now open in Murrieta
Chipotle Mexican Grill’s second Murrieta location opened last week at 27970 Clinton Keith Road, Suite 100.
The new location includes a Chipotlane for quick pickup of digital orders.
The restaurant is open 10:45 a.m.-10 p.m. daily.
Coming to Colton
While driving through Colton recently, I noticed paper tacked up in the window of Pizza Q, 1231 E. Washington St., Suite C.
Turns out the combination pizzeria and barbecue joint, which opened in 2016, closed at the end of last year.
Signage is up at the restaurant indicating it will become Tacos El Callejón.
