It looks like there’s already a new tenant lined up to take over the former home of Luna Sur. Notices have been posted on the window of the vacant store at 53^rd & 9^th with contact details for Toloache, a group of Mexican bistros. The application for the store will be heard at the community board meeting next week.

Somewhat-​interestingly, the “for rent” signs are still up too, so it sounds like Toloache signing the lease is dependent on their approval at the CB meeting. The store was home to Luna Sur, who abruptly closed towards the end of August.

Toloache will be yet another Mexican spot joining those few blocks, with El Centro, Limon Jungle, Mi Nidito and more on the surrounding streets. Here’s their dinner menu from some of their other stores, for a preview of what you can look forward to, or just walk three streets down from this spot and across to 8^th Ave to find another one of their locations.
