Ethnic Restaurant Ready To Expand Into Downtown Section Of Enfield

ENFIELD, CT — Over the years, Enfield has been known to welcome culinary tastes from around the globe. Restaurants specializing in Italian, Polish, Chinese, Mexican, Guatemalan, Japanese, Irish and Jamaican delicacies have all dotted the town's landscape, and a unique first-of-its-kind ethnic spot is about to make its debut.

In the historic Sullivan Building at 37-39 Pearl Street, a sign has been put in place over the entrance of what will be Mi Cultura II. The owners of the building, which most recently housed Diana's Bakery and Gladys Alterations, plan to lease 1,200 square feet to the Puerto Rican eatery, a plan which was approved by the Enfield Planning & Zoning Commission in Jan. 2023.

Mi Cultura is a successful operation at 880 State Street in Springfield.

Approved plans call for about 500 square feet to be used for indoor seating which can accommodate 25 patrons. The majority of the business deals with take-out orders.

Plans call for the restaurant to employ four people full-time and three part-time.

There is no definite word on when Mi Cultura II will be ready to open. A message from Patch seeking more details has not yet been answered.
