Malenas Tacos to reopen soon

This was the scene at Malena’s Tacos on 56th St. back in May.

A kitchen fire sent customers running and created extensive damage throughout the restaurant. Now, eight months later, Malena’s is preparing to reopen in the next “two or three weeks,” according to Malena’s on Queen Anne. They said they wanted to reopen sooner, but repairs took longer than expected. (Thanks, Marika for the tip! File photo by Silver.)
