After years of anticipation, Valentina's Tex Mex BBQ opened to the public June 16 at the Buda Mill & Grain Co. at 308 Main St., Ste. 101.
Valentina's owners Miguel and Modesty Vidal made a $2 million capital investment for the first brick-and-mortar location along with a $513,000 incentive from the Buda Economic Development Corp.
The new space is 6,500 square feet with space and seating for around 200 diners.
“Years ago, when we decided to open a restaurant, we sent photos of potential lots and locations to our architect,” Modesty said in a news release. “Turns out, we shared a photo of this exact space [at Buda Mill & Grain]. We honestly never thought it'd be possible.”
