Downtown Restaurant Chela Tequila & Tacos' Future Up in the Air

Downtown Orlando restaurant Chela Tequila and Tacos at 183 Orange Avenue (MAP) has an uncertain future after mid-2020: Johnny Tung, one of the founders of the Bento Management Group (owner of Chela) told OBJ he's not sure if they're going to re-sign after their 7 year lease is up or not next year.

Bento entered that 6,176 SF space 7 years ago with a totally restaurant different concept called KASA. That opened November 2013. See opening night photos.

The switch to Chela took place January 2017.
