Terlingua (website, facebook, instagram, twitter) has leased the former Silly’s restaurant location where they plan to open an expanded version of their four-year-old restaurant this spring.
The new Terlingua will seat 60—nearly double in size the current location at 52 Washington. It will also include a small market selling prepared foods as well as and house-made sauces and rubs, and feature an outdoor beer garden and dining deck.
Owners Pliny and Melanie Reynolds stated, “We love this neighborhood and the restaurant community in Portland. We’ve been humbled by the success we’ve had at the current Terlingua location and for us, the time was right to move into a space that can grow with us. We continue to be thankful for our wonderful employees, suppliers and patrons and only look for that to continue in a larger, more adaptive space, as we move a few doors up the street.”
Terlingua 1.0 will remain open during the renovations of the new space at which point the 52 Washington Ave will be leased for use by a new restaurant.
This is great news! Our favorite spot in the East End, by far.
