Tula Taqueria has replaced W.G. Grinders at 525 Lazelle Road in the Polaris area.

Owner Michael Moreno said the menu will seem familiar to many central Ohio diners: tostadas, street tacos, tortas, burritos, quesadillas and platters are among the budget-priced choices.

“We try to stick to quality at a fair price for this area,” Moreno said.

The restaurant was named after Moreno’s father’s hometown in Mexico — Union de Tula in the state Jalisco.

Something’s brewing

Construction on Parsons North Brewing Company is making progress.

The brewery, located in 5,000 square feet of space at 685 Parsons Ave., is expected to open in November, said brewer Seth Draeger, who owns the business with Nathan Klein.

Parsons North will open with 12 taps — 10 reserved for house-brewed beer and two guest taps, Draeger said.

He said he has 30 beer recipes from which to choose but will start out with more common choices.

The brewery will have a full liquor license except on Sundays, when only beer and wine will be offered.

Parsons North will not have a kitchen but will allow customers to bring in food from surrounding restaurants and food trucks, which will be parked in the back lot.

“We definitely don’t see any issues with people finding food and bringing it into our space,” Draeger said.

New concept

Aroma Indian Kitchen has replaced Dakshin Indian Bistro at 8380 N. High St., reflecting a change in concept.

Owner Ram Nugooru, who opened Dakshin 18 months ago, said the kitchen was expanded to accommodate the restaurant’s growing corporate catering accounts.

Aroma still offers dine-in services six days a week but is closed on Wednesdays.

Nurgooru said he serves about 500 catering lunches a day, thereby “taking Indian food to the mainstream.”

Another Dakshin Indian Bistro on North Hamilton Road remains in business.
