"STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- Rosebank has a new restaurant -- Sofia’s Taqueria located at 977 Bay Street -- which plans for a soft opening Monday, Dec. 3.
And if that address sounds familiar, it’s because it served as the former home to Franco-American Zest and Czech-inspired Korzo Klub.
When longtime friends Peter Botros and Ignacio Garcia toured the three-story building, they knew the spot would be perfect for a Mexican restaurant concept they’d been bouncing around for years.
Check out the video to see how their taco and tequila dreams have played out so far as Sofia’s builds up to lunch, dinner and weekend brunch."
