Holy tamale!
La Perla Mexican Delicattessen, which closed earlier this month after 64 years serving its local customers, will reopen June 16 at the same location with a new owner, the West County Times reported today.
The new owner is Susan Weinberg-Matteson, the Times reported. The eatery will be “exactly the same,” Weinberg-Matteson told the newspaper, with the same prices and friendly customer service.
Weinberg-Matteson is reportedly now interviewing the eatery’s future workers.
La Perla was a beloved family-owned deli at the corner at Fourth Street and Nevin Avenue that had been serving customers in Richmond since 1949.
