A new Mexican restaurant from the owners of 1905 Bistro & Bar and Sticky Rice DC is coming to the Bloomingdale neighborhood of Northwest D.C.

The yet-to-be-named restaurant will open in summer 2014 at 108 Rhode Island Ave. NW. Owners Tony Lucca and Phil Rodriguez plan a traditional Mexican menu with Latin cocktails.

The restaurant is still in its early planning stages, so details are few, but the two partners said they have been waiting for an opportunity to pop up in the neighborhood, where Rodriguez has been a resident for several years.

“Phil has lived a block from the site of the new restaurant for almost a decade, watching the community grow,” Lucca said in a statement.

“The owners of 1905 Restaurant have a new project in store. Tony Lucca & Phil Rodriguez (also of Sticky Rice) have signed a lease for a new venture in Bloomingdale. The restaurant will be located at 108 Rhode Island Ave. NW and serve Mexican food and Latin cocktails.”
