Jamaica Plain May Get a New Burrito Shop

A new Mexican restaurant is seeking a food license to open up shop at 224 Armory St. in Jamaica Plain. Chilacates, with manager Socrates Abreu, has a hearing with the Boston licensing board on Thursday.

Chilacates is seeking a 10-seat counter at the shop that most recently housed the Dominican Armory Restaurant. Predominantly, Chilacates would serve walk-up and take-out customers. The establishment is seeking permission for a beverage cooler inside, without beer or wine. If approved, Chilacates could be open from 8 a.m. - 10 p.m. daily.

A fledgling Instagram profile shows Chilacates has been in the works for nearly a year, with two posts from 44 weeks ago. The posts indicate Chilacates, which is the name of a pepper found extensively in Jalisco, Mexico, will focus on burritos. The company has registered the domain chilacates.com but hasn't created a website yet.

Last week, interior designer Ivory & Bone shared a photo of antique tin, pictured, which apparently will be used to build Chilacates' counter.

The antique tin has arrived! Sandwich bar...check! One step closer to the opening of Chilacates! Stay tuned... #chilacates #ivoryandbone #mexicancuisine #jamaicaplain #driveinservice #etsy #interiordesign #restaurantdesign
