We noticed a small sign in the window of 709 Church Avenue the other day announcing La Loba Cantina moving into the space. The former Xpress Pizza will soon be serving Oaxacan street food and mezcal and tequila drinks, according to owner Jeff.

“We love Kensington and can’t wait to open,” says Jeff. “Hopefully we’ll be open within 4-5 weeks.”

Jeff and his wife Meredith, who live in the neighborhood, recently ran a Kickstarter campaign to help raise funds for the new restaurant.

La Loba is opening just down the street from Hinterlands Bar, which we have heard will also be opening soon. What do you think of all of the new business coming to Church Avenue?
