The sample menu includes pork, chicken, beef and barbacoa burritos, large and small, served with either pinto or black beans. Chips and salsa, salads, cheese plates, lobster rolls and a Mexican lobster cocktail will also be available.
The restaurant and bar will have 50-60 seats. The target opening date is Nov. 15.
