Exciting News for Columbia! Que! Bueno Mexican Bar & Grill Arrives Soon!
Columbia is buzzing with excitement as a vibrant new dining spot is set to open its doors! Que! Bueno Mexican Bar & Grill has announced that its latest location at 4420 Devine Street will officially start serving up delicious Mexican cuisine on Tuesday, April 29. If you’re a fan of tasty tacos, sizzling fajitas, and mouth-watering enchiladas, this is something you won’t want to miss!
Where to Find It?
The new restaurant is conveniently located just east of Beltline Boulevard and west of Fort Jackson Boulevard. It’s a great spot to grab a bite to eat whether you’re a local resident or just passing through the area. While the restaurant is being promoted online as Que Bueno Mexican Bar & Grill Forest Acres, don’t be fooled – it’s situated about a mile and a half south of the actual Forest Acres neighborhood! Regardless of the name, this location is ready to deliver the same great flavors that fans have come to love.
New Beginnings in New Spaces
For those who might be wondering about the building’s past, it previously housed another dining establishment, Barrio Tacos + Tequila, which closed its doors in December. Now, with the fresh signage for Que! Bueno up on the building, the anticipation is building for locals eager for a flavorful experience!
Growing Presence in the Midlands
Que! Bueno is not just popping up in Columbia; this brand has been making waves throughout the Midlands area! In 2022, the restaurant spread its wings by opening a lively location at 7320 Broad River Road in Irmo, situated right in the bustling Kennerly Crossing shopping center near a Publix. Then, in 2023, it followed up with another new location at 407 North Lake Drive in Lexington, close to the heart of downtown.
Diverse Dining Experiences
Both the Irmo and Lexington spots offer a traditional sit-down experience where diners can enjoy a wide array of Mexican delights. But the brand isn’t stopping there! In an exciting twist, Que! Bueno expanded its offerings by launching an ice cream shop and Mexican snack bar in August 2024 at 2213 Augusta Road in West Columbia. Here, you can satisfy your sweet tooth and grab some unique treats like Mexican street corn, banana splits, and aguas frescas.
What’s Next?
As if that isn’t enough to whet your appetite, there are more plans on the horizon. Que! Bueno is currently gearing up to open another location in downtown Columbia at 1467 Sumter Street. While the exact opening date hasn’t been announced yet, locals can look forward to even more tasty options in this bustling area.
Ready for a Flavorful Adventure?
So, mark your calendars for April 29! Whether you’re a die-hard Mexican food lover or just someone looking for a new place to enjoy a meal with friends and family, the new Que! Bueno location promises to deliver authentic flavors and a welcoming atmosphere. It’s time to stretch those taste buds and dive into a world of deliciousness that Colombia has to offer. See you there!
