Nico's Taco and Tequila Bar Coming to Former Birdhouse/Duplex Space on Hennepin

It looks like construction has begun on a new restaurant, Nico's Taco and Tequila Bar, that will go in the space formerly belonging to Birdhouse (and to Duplex before that). A sign posted outside the restaurant says, "Nico's Taco and Tequila Bar will be offering authentic Mexican food with a focus on tacos and scratch made margaritas. Nico's will be offering an a la carte menu featuring several favorites including: tacos, ceviche, guacamole plus many more."

According to the restaurant's Facebook page, they're shooting to open on September 3rd. The space's former inhabitant, Birdhouse, closed at the beginning of June after a little less than a year in business; before that, Duplex Restaurant occupied the space for six years.
