Papagayo Is Opening at Assembly Row in Somerville

An upscale Mexican restaurant that opened in the Fort Point neighborhood of Boston about a year ago is planning to open a second location, with this one being a short distance north of the city.

According to Grub Street Boston, Papagayo on Summer Street is considering a second restaurant in the Assembly Square section of Somerville. While no specific details are available as of now, it appears possible that the new Papagayo would be opening in the Assembly Row complex, an upcoming massive mixed-use project that will include a number of restaurants and dozens of factory outlet stores as well as offices and residential space.

[September 14, 2012 update: The Boston Globe has confirmed that Papagayo will open in the upcoming Assembly Row development at Assembly Square, though the restaurant will not be opening until possibly the spring of 2014.]

[May 12, 2014 update: A new article in the Boston Globe mentions that Papagayo could be opening its Assembly Row location sometime this month.]

[May 30, 2014 update: Eater Boston reports that the new Papagayo at Assembly Row is now open.]

Papagayo first opened in Fort Point last November, joining several other restaurants from the Legendary Restaurant Group, including Scollay Square and Max and Dylan's.
