A Texas-based Tex-Mex restaurant chain wants to open its first Louisiana location in a growing area of Baton Rouge.
The Planning Commission will review plans to bring a Fuego Tortilla Grill to West Lee Drive, near Burbank Drive, at its January meeting.
Stephen Wall, with Dallas-based holding company Uncommon Brands, filed the application with the commission. The application lists the property owner as Asterrone LLC of Metairie, a group that comprises the family of the late auto dealer Price LeBlanc. The group recently proposed bringing a Starbucks to the area.
