A new Mexican restaurant that’s based in Bloomington, Illinois, is coming to Village Pointe in Omaha.
Ancho and Agave will open in the former Pier 1 Imports location at the shopping center near 168th Street and West Dodge Road. A sign in the window at the space says “Coming Soon.”
The Omaha restaurant will be the third Ancho and Agave, which was founded in 2019 in Bloomington, where one of its other outlets is located. Another is in Middleton, Wisconsin, a suburb of Madison.
Operators say the restaurant offers traditional cuisine with a modern approach. The menu features a number of appetizers, including hickory bacon & goat cheese guacamole and jalapeno and bacon poppers; tacos in unusual varieties such as cauliflower and kung pao chicken; enchiladas with various proteins, including mesquite-smoked chicken and shrimp & crab; and several other Mexican favorites.
