Open letter to owners of Santana’s Cantina in the Old Gennaros Space

To whom it may concern;

1. Welcome to the neighborhood! As Im sure you are aware that spot has seen some tumult since gennaros closed. Englewood loved that staple so we wish you success!

2. I Implore you to explore other cuisines. Englewood is dominating by Mexican cuisine, some loved neighborhood spots that have been here forever, and a huge glut that have popped out the last 5 years. Hell, across the street is El Tejada. Wapos just opened two months ago down the street. The list goes on. We need something else

3. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE dont use AI for your branding. It reads as cheap and lazy, and in a town like Englewood with a surprisingly robust community of artists, its a middle finger to a huge customer base.

Finally, thanks for investing in our neighborhood, now dont fuck it up!
