The B.good restaurant at 15 Exchange St. in Portland, which sells burgers, sandwiches and salads, is undergoing a transformation into a taqueria.
Lupita’s Taqueria will serve a variety of tacos; snacks such as guacamole, chips and salsa, and street corn; and drinks such as margaritas and micheladas. The target opening date is June 22.
Owner Bill Zolper said low sales during the pandemic forced the change, which was inspired by his wife Alejandra’s Colombian heritage. The couple flew a chef who has run taquerias in London and Medellín up to Maine to create a menu for the Old Port restaurant.
