 The popular Old Town restaurant is planning to add a roof deck, complete with a full-service bar, to the top of its building. Rather than reopening its indoor dining room at limited capacity, as is now allowed under the state’s reopening guidelines, owner Miguel Pires has decided to maintain kitchen operations for take-out and delivery while gutting the inside of the 116-year-old building to allow for the addition on top. There will also be a covered staircase added to the exterior of the building.
Last month, the city’s Architecture Review Board recommended that the alterations be approved, and Pires is hoping to have the dining room reopened and the roof deck completed by the fall, though he said those plans may be delayed in the event of a COVID-19 resurgence. https://www.nbcwashington.com/news/local/old-school-kitchen-in-virginia-donates-food-to-homeless-families/2281952/

 Haymarket, VA - February 25, 2019 – Fueled by the popularity and success of their casual taco and tequila concept, Zandra’s Taqueria is proud to announce the coming Grand Opening of their new location in Haymarket. The new location, to open in summer 2019, is currently taking shape at 14600 Washington Street. The facility is a transformation from the former PACE West school to a large multi-use facility envisioned by Manassas firm Loveless Porter Architects. The restaurant will feature a large patio for outdoor dining, as well as the food and beverage selection that has made Zandra’s a local favorite. “We’ve wanted to open a location in Haymarket for quite some time”, says Miguel Pires, owner of Zandra’s Taqueria. “The new space is perfect for keeping the vision for our restaurant concept, and we’re very excited to see it all take shape.” Pires continued that the style of Zandra’s is a perfect fit for the Haymarket community – relaxed dining with a menu of expertly crafted and made-to-order tacos, salads, fajitas and more. As with the Manassas and Fairfax locations, there will be a craft beer menu to satisfy any palette and an extensive selection of cocktails.
