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.

The conversion of Portland s iconic Time & Temperature Building to a hotel would, if approved, be overseen by a hotel developer with a track record.
Fathom Cos., which is about to open the Canopy By Hilton hotel in the Old Port and converted the old Portland Press Herald building into the Press Hotel, would lead the renovations, if approved by the city. Fathom, led by Jim Brady, had not been associated with the project until now. The story was first reported by the Portland Press Herald.
Fathom’s proposal calls for converting the office building into a 186-room hotel, with banquet rooms, a restaurant, retail and a rooftop bar.
