Bite-Sized: Union Street in Schenectady to Welcome Tacos & Margaritas Cantina Opening

Welcome to ‍our regular feature, ‘A Taste of the Town’, where⁢ we spotlight ‌local food festivals, unique culinary events,​ menu updates, restaurant news and more. Let’s dive⁤ into the delicious details.

SCHENECTADY —⁣ Exciting news for food lovers! A new taqueria, named Tacos ⁣& Margaritas Cantina, is set ⁤to open its doors on⁤ Upper Union Street this ‌fall. The location, 1671 Union⁢ St., was previously home to Simon’s.

“We’re​ introducing an open kitchen-style ‌taqueria, where customers can watch their tortillas being freshly made right in front of their eyes,” shared owner Luis Belman, a Schenectady resident. “You’ll witness your tortilla⁣ being made, pressed, and cooked, along with your choice of ‌meat.”

This will be Belman’s first ⁣venture into restaurant ownership, although he has ‍been involved‍ in the industry from a young age.

“Owning my own restaurant has always been a dream of mine,” Belman confessed.

Belman began ‍leasing the Union Street space⁢ a few months ago⁤ and is currently in the process of renovating it ​to include an open kitchen and bar.

“I envision it as a trendy spot where everyone can come in, enjoy some tacos, sit at​ the bar, have a drink… a place where you can‍ grab​ something quick and delicious,” Belman said.

The menu will primarily feature specialty tacos, made with the‍ restaurant’s⁣ own tortillas.

“The fact⁢ that we’re making our own dough already sets us apart. Most restaurants ⁣in the area use frozen tortillas that they ‍simply heat up,” Belman pointed out.

His goal ‍is to provide customers with the experience of an authentic taqueria, similar to what⁤ one might find in Mexico.

“This is ‍a fresh concept that ​hasn’t been explored much in the Capital Region,” ⁣Belman said. “Yes, there are other Mexican restaurants, but none with this style of concept, an actual ⁣taqueria ‍where you can watch your tacos being‌ made, interact with the chef, see ⁣the dough‌ being pressed and cooked, and ⁣the meat being sliced right before your eyes.”

Belman is aiming for a fall ⁤opening and plans⁣ to hire around 25 staff members.

The‍ restaurant will ‍join two other recent additions to Union Street,‌ including Chapli & Platters at 1628 Union St. and Mr. & Mrs. Wing⁤ at 1715 Union St.
