Is it a good idea to open a business in a location with known parking difficulties?

2 Amigo's Cocina is scheduled to reopen its doors at 116 South Lincoln in Loveland on October 23, 2026. The restaurant returns to the site previously occupied by Chili Verde Mexican Grill.

Why it matters

The restaurant is returning to a fixed-site location after pivoting its operations to focus on mobile catering and food trucks. Owners should note that the operator is utilizing the space on a temporary basis, as the building itself is currently listed for sale.

The building at 116 South Lincoln is listed for $600,000, hosting a revolving roster of food tenants including a 15-year stay by Alberto's Burritos and a nearly four-year stint by 2 Amigo's Cocina. The site currently awaits a permanent buyer.

The players

2 Amigo's Cocina

A food service operator transitioning between a mobile catering business model and brick-and-mortar restaurant services.

Chili Verde Mexican Grill

A restaurant operator that occupied the 116 South Lincoln location following 2 Amigo's Cocina's departure in 2025.

Alberto's Burritos

A long-standing food service entity that occupied the 116 South Lincoln premises for 15 years.

The details

2 Amigo's Cocina is preparing to resume service by removing the signage of the previous tenant, Chili Verde Mexican Grill, which vacated the premises in September 2026. The restaurant's return follows a period of focusing on food truck and mobile catering operations after leaving the Lincoln address in early 2025. Management intends to maintain the restaurant at this location until the building is sold to a new owner.

2007-2021: Alberto's Burritos occupied the location.
Early 2025: 2 Amigo's Cocina moved out of the site.
September 2026: Chili Verde Mexican Grill closed its operations.
October 23, 2026: 2 Amigo's Cocina is scheduled to reopen.

Market Landscape

This development follows a common industry trend where operators shift between fixed-site and mobile delivery models to manage overhead costs. It reflects a strategic reversal for 2 Amigo's Cocina as it attempts to maintain a physical footprint while the underlying real estate remains on the market.

Operators currently leasing commercial property should prioritize clear contingency clauses in their rental agreements regarding building sales. If you occupy space listed for sale, ensure your contract specifies transition timelines to avoid unexpected site closures.

The takeaway

Restaurant operators should carefully monitor the status of their leased properties to avoid disruption from sudden property sales. When transitioning between mobile and brick-and-mortar models, prioritize lease flexibility over long-term commitments.
