With the depressingly high number of vacant storefronts in Downtown Santa Monica, one glimmer of hope is that there appears to be a number of new eateries moving in. There is a small Coastal Commission pending application on the front of 1403 Third St. Promenade that gives us the name of Mezemex Mexican Grill as one of these new eateries. This space was previously the longtime home of a branch of Wetzel’s Pretzels. I can’t find much information on this business, so if you have info, let us know.

A new Mexican restaurant has suddenly appeared in the old Mercado space at 1416 4th St. in Downtown Santa Monica.  Desvelados Cantina officially threw open their doors on Friday (Nov. 1).  This is their sixth location, with the other branches being mostly east of here.  Self-described as “An elevated taste of Mexico”, look for an extensive (and delicious looking) menu of classic food and drinks with an emphasis on tacos.  We wish them the best of luck.

Tucked into a corner space at Found Santa Monica, at 12311 Santa Monica Blvd, is a build-out on a new Mexican restaurant.  Promising “lobster tacos” and “beach vibes”, The Cliffdiver appears to be settling in.  The Cliffdiver has a location in Thousand Oaks and boasts a menu of favorites (and a good happy hour) in a chill setting.

Santa Monica’s branch of Jimmy’s Famous American Tavern disappeared during the pandemic restaurant closures, leaving a gaping hole at 1733 Ocean Ave.  But a new contender is stepping forward to give the space a go.  There’s a banner off to the side of the patio announcing the impending arrival of Sol-Agave.  This will be the fourth location for the Mexican chain that started out as a food truck in in 2014 in San Juan Capistrano.  According to their website, it appears that they are also planning on a location at 800 W Olympic #A130, near STAPLES Center.  We wish them the best of luck.
