Asado Wing and Taco Company plans to reopen its doors at 727 W. Broad St., returning to the same space the restaurant vacated six years ago, according to Richmond BizSense.
The move marks a homecoming for the Tex-Mex establishment, which previously operated in the storefront near the Virginia Commonwealth University campus. The restaurant specialized in a fusion of smoked wings and tacos before closing that specific location in 2020. According to Richmond BizSense, the owners have secured the lease for the familiar property to revive the concept in its original neighborhood.
A Return to West Broad Street
The decision to reclaim the former site follows a period of transition for the brand. While the restaurant maintained other operations, the return to West Broad Street places the business back in a high-traffic corridor popular with students and downtown residents. According to Richmond BizSense, the interior will undergo renovations to prepare for the relaunch, though the menu will likely retain the core items that defined its initial run.
The building at 727 W. Broad St. has seen various tenants since Asado departed, but the space now reverts to its previous identity. According to Richmond BizSense, the ownership team views the return as an opportunity to tap into the existing brand recognition they built over years of service in the area.
Next Steps for the Relaunch
Work on the space continues as the team prepares for a formal opening date. According to Richmond BizSense, the owners intend to bring back the signature atmosphere that characterized the first iteration of the West Broad Street spot. The timeline for the grand reopening depends on the completion of necessary permits and interior updates.
