A Mexican restaurant is set to open in a busy high street next year.
Pieno Lleno, a Mexican restaurant which also has a Southend branch, is set to fully open in Upminster in January 2024, an employee said yesterday (December 20).
The Upminster branch at 25 Station Road is already open for takeaways on delivery website JustEat, but people should be able to visit the restaurant in person early next year.
Timea, a customer at the Southend branch, praised the restaurant's food and service.
"Lovely place with amazing atmosphere and friendly, fast service," Timea said on Pieno Lleno's website. "Our second time there but definitely not the last."
