The Skinny on Farmesa, Coming To Downtown Santa Monica

A few weeks back, when I told you about the lineup of eateries coming to ghost kitchen Kitchen United MIX, (formerly The Gallery Food Hall) at 1315 Third St Promenade in Downtown Santa Monica, I included links to each listed restaurant… except one.  At the time, I couldn’t find any information about Farmesa.  But just this week, details began to trickle in.  According to this Forbes article, Farmesa is a new fast/casual concept from none other than Chipotle Mexican Grill that will offer bowls with proteins, grains, greens, sauces, and toppings.  The menu is curated by famous chef and cookbook author Nate Appleman, whose CV includes San Francisco’s A16 and SPQR.  It looks like they’re shooting for a February opening.

Chipotle Disappears From The Golden Triangle

Chipotle Mexican Grill Moving Into The Old Poquito Mas Space In SM

I’ve known for a while now that something was moving into the old Poquito Mas space at 2025 Wilshire Blvd. in Santa Monica: The for lease sign came down a while ago.  But now we know what it is…  It looks like the former Mexican restaurant will be taken over by another, Chipotle Mexican Grill.
