Excited about the new Mexican restaurant that’s moving into the former location of Divine, 7919 Roosevelt Way N.E.? Here’s a news release hot off the presses:
COA Mexican Eatery & Tequileria plans to open their doors in mid-May in Seattle’s Maple Leaf neighborhood at the intersection of 80th and Roosevelt Way NE. COA plans to serve lunch & dinner six days a week and will open at 11am Tuesday through Sunday. The former house-turned-eatery will feature a dining room which seats 50 and a small bar to seat over a dozen.
Entrepreneur and COA owner, Edgar Carreon, will bring his family-style Mexican background to Seattle to create a new concept. “I’m excited to bring the Mexico I know to Seattle, says Carreon. “I come from three generations of Mexican restaurant entrepreneurs and this is our first venture in Seattle. The roots that you see in the food from Mexico exist just as much in tequila and we have an opportunity to combine those and create a new experience.”
COA is a sophisticated, low-stress neighborhood eatery that will offer lunch specials, a dinner menu and an extended happy hour. COA will offer authentic, handcrafted Mexican cuisine such as tacos, molé, carne asada and more that will pair well with over 50 hand-selected tequilas offered in the bar. COA’s initiative is to combine local, fresh ingredients with simple, bold flavors to deliver traditional dishes with an edge.
“I have always loved the Maple Leaf neighborhood and knew it was where I wanted to bring this concept,” says Carreon. I have watched the area grow so much over the past 10 years and I know COA will fit great in the neighborhood. My fiancé, Juanita, and I look forward to getting further connected with the community,” he concluded.
A coa is a tool that jimadors have used for hundreds of years to harvest agave. It is a tool that has endured and represents a culture that hasn’t been replaced with advanced technology.
