The restaurant at 1401 Montrose Blvd is named Carmalito. I don't know if this is another restaurant from the Mandola family or not.

 

Apologies for the wrong name of the business moving into the 1401 Montrose building of former Pronto Cucinino.

The name isn't Carmalito but Comalito.

It turns out I've been following the restaurant's Instagram for a while, not realizing this is the business opening soon at 1401 Montrose.

According to the logo on Comalito's Instagram, this will become a Mexican restaurant. I am uncertain if this will center on a specific regional Mexican cuisine or offer fares ranging from various regions of Mexico. The logo also seems to indicate this will be a taqueria-type concept.

Comalito is the latest restaurant from Picos Hospitality. The group's other restaurant includes Arnaldo Richard's Picos located in the Upper Kirby area.

All the construction fencing is down and I don't see any exterior changes. I wonder if they stopped whatever construction they were doing?

An update about Comalito, the Mexican restaurant that was under construction at 1401 Montrose. The site was previously home to the Mandola-owned Italian eatery Pronto Cucinino.

Comalito was going to be a taqueria concept from Picos Hospitality. The group's other restaurant includes Arnaldo Richard's Picos located in the Upper Kirby area.

I asked him (Construction Concepts' site supervisor) why his company left the job at the Mandola's Pronto Cucinino restaurant project on Montrose, he said the owners decided not to go forward with the project.

Traveler's Table is opening a dining concept at 1401 Montrose.

Named Traveler's Cart, the restaurant aims to open late 2023, according to CultureMap. The fast-casual concept differentiates Traveler's Cart from Traveler's Table, as does the lower price point.

What to expect design-wise:

"As with Traveler’s Table, Mitchell has turned to Houston’s Gin Design Group to create the interior for Traveler’s Cart. Plans call for design elements that reference markets and street carts from around the world."

I talked with the owner, that's his head in the second pic(he was talking with his contractors) who said they will be opening Oct. 23rd. This will be counter service versus Traveler's Table that is table service he said. He also said they have another sign coming. Asked if I could go inside and take some pics, he said sure look around.

Traveler's Cart opens to the public on October 23. The restaurant is located at 1401 Montrose Boulevard.


More on the restaurant's design from CultureMap:

"...The Mitchells worked with Houston’s Gin Design Group on Traveler’s Cart’s interior. The design features signage similar to street food markets, a video installation that displays footage of markets from around the world, and a currency “tunnel” of bills from different countries."
