City Center Bishop Ranch officials revealed one new lessee restaurant that just signed, celebrated another that recently opened and provided updates on two other new eateries that are set to arrive soon at the retail and dining complex in San Ramon.
Highlighting their four newest restaurant tenants five days after losing the prominent Starbucks store on the first floor, officials said the new additions reflect City Center’s focus on maintaining a vibrant lineup and “strengthening its standing as a go-to place for unique, locally rooted dining”.
“We’re excited to welcome these restaurants that showcase such a fun mix of flavors and traditions,” said Jeff Dodd, senior vice president at Sunset Development, owner and operator of the complex. “They make City Center Bishop Ranch an even better spot to gather, share a meal and try something new.”
With the Oct. 2 announcement comes the news that Rico Rico Taco has secured a lease for the 1,464-square-foot restaurant space between West Elm and Fieldwork Brewing Company that has been vacant since C Casa closed at the beginning of the year.
Slated to open on the first floor in February, Rico Rico Taco is a fast-casual taqueria “known for bringing the bold flavors of Mexico City to life with handmade tortillas, spit-roasted al pastor and colorful, ingredient-forward dishes”, according to City Center officials.
In the meantime, two new eateries are expected to arrive sooner on the ground floor on the southern side of City Center near LB Steak – as signage for each has teased for multiple months.
Build-your-own superfood bowl concept shop Palmetto Superfoods is coming to a 1,035-square-foot tenant space, with a firm opening date still to be determined.
And the operators of Meyhouse – “renowned for its regional Turkish cuisine and convivial atmosphere”, City Center officials said – are bringing their South Bay restaurant concept to the Tri-Valley for the first time. On track to open during this holiday season, Meyhouse is taking over the 5,359-square-foot space vacated by Dumpling Time in March.
The new arrivals will follow the lead of KHAKI, the most recent restaurant to open in City Center back in July.
From the same braintrust behind Curry Up Now, which previously occupied the 3,124-square-foot unit on the second floor facing Alexander Square, KHAKI is “a modern Indian bar and canteen (whose) menu reimagines Indian comfort food with global techniques and California’s seasonal bounty, offering everything from bold street-style kababs to soul-warming curries”, City Center reps said.
