Downtown Glassboro scores two new businesses with a new restaurant experience and live-action adventure. Joining the ranks of thriving businesses on Rowan Boulevard in Downtown Glassboro, are two highly anticipated newcomers; The Mexican Mariachi Grill and Escape Room South Jersey.

Ricardo Ramos and his wife Viridiana, joined by Ricardo's parents Ricardo Sr. and Eugenia, are the owners of the Mexican Mariachi Grill's three current locations in Ewing, Hamilton Township and on the TCNJ Campus, and are well-seasoned entrepreneurs currently serving thousands of Mexican dishes every day. With a family legacy of traditional Mexican cooking dating back several generations, together they bring not only their large and delightful variety of Mexican fare but their incredibly inviting personalities as well.

Ramos Sr., is excited to build their fourth restaurant in Downtown Glassboro at 206 Rowan Boulevard, slated to open in summer of 2017, which will the restauranteur's largest at 3,200 square feet and will include their first full bar which will serve up a refreshing assortment of Mexican cocktails and quality cervezas which will add another unique layer to their already amazing foods flavor profiles.

Also new to Glassboro is the Escape Room South Jersey, a 2,700 square foot place of mind challenging, fast-paced fun challenges designed to tempt even the most prolific puzzle solver and crime-drama addict. You are placed inside a room and have 60 minutes to solve the task at hand using the clues and puzzles hidden throughout. It's a hectic, fun and challenging dash as you and up to nine other players work furiously to complete your objective before the time runs out.

This is the second location for the fast-growing business from Collingswood and will offer even more cerebral challenges than their first location. Glassboro is primed for experiences like Escape Room South Jersey, that change the perception of what a night out on the town can be.

Derek Lindeman, one of Escape Room South Jersey's partners along with fellow Rowan alumni, Anne Lindeman, Chris Borzell, Jake Matthews, and Jesse Hall said "We are beyond thrilled to bring our second Escape Room South Jersey location to Downtown Glassboro. With four brand new immersive rooms, our attraction on Rowan Boulevard is sure to entertain students, corporate parties and anyone looking to test their brain power with their friends and family."

These businesses are inside of over 200,000 square feet of downtown nirvana, a walkable downtown experience unlike any other with state-of-the-art new construction everywhere you look connected with a newly opened 1.75-acre Town Square which includes a Great Lawn, Stage Terrace, a Paver Plaza, an interactive Spray Fountain, two Pavilions, and a Sculpture Garden Arts Display.
