Work progressing at Leal's on Mabry

Workers have been busy at the Leal’s Mexican Restaurant location on Mabry Drive. “We are finishing up on the remodel,” said restaurant owner Laura Leal.

“We hope to possibly be open in about six weeks,” Leal said Monday.

“We’re getting all of our equipment in, getting the metal painted, putting on stucco, fixing up the patio.”

Leal added the crew is “completing a few things on the inside.”

The popular eatery, which has a second location on Prince Street, closed its Mabry Drive location in 2020 after water pipes froze and burst, she said. It first opened in 1988.

“We’re looking forward to the reopening,” Leal said.
