The former McDonald’s space on the lower level of Concord’s Sunvalley Mall has a new tenant: Arle, an Oaxacan-leaning Mexican restaurant that bills itself as a family operation serving traditional dishes from Oaxaca alongside familiar Mexican classics.
According to the City of Concord, city staff joined the Greater Concord Chamber of Commerce on February 5 to officially welcome Arle and share photos from the celebration. The post lists the restaurant’s hours as 10 AM to 8 PM Monday through Saturday and 11 AM to 7 PM on Sundays, and it notes a phone number for orders at (925) 265-7254. The city also highlights Arle’s focus on Oaxacan dishes while acknowledging its broader Mexican menu.
Ribbon-cutting at Sunvalley
Per the Concord Chamber of Commerce’s event listing, Arle marked its grand opening with a ribbon-cutting last Friday, with the ribbon scheduled for 3:30 PM. The chamber notes that the restaurant occupies a lower-level space in Sunvalley Mall in the former McDonald’s footprint, and that guests at the event were treated to complimentary agua frescas and music.
Business filings and who’s listed
State business records compiled on BizProfile identify Arle LLC as the legal entity behind the restaurant, with a filing date of March 8, 2023, and a principal mailing address at 270 Sunvalley Mall, Unit D131. Those documents list a manager named Rodrigo Francisco Ramirez Silva, which differs from the owner’s first name referenced in the city’s post.
Menu, name origin, and ordering
As described in the City of Concord’s Facebook post, the name “Arle” is built from the first letters of owner Edwin’s family members’ names. The kitchen leans on Oaxacan specialties while still putting out broader Mexican plates, aiming to bring regional flavors into a busy mall setting with steady shopper traffic. The same post reiterates the phone line for orders at (925) 265-7254 and the weekly hours listed above.
Sunvalley context
Sunvalley Mall is Concord’s long-running regional shopping center and has served as the city’s primary retail hub for decades, according to its public profile on Wikipedia. That larger draw helps explain why a regionally focused spot like Arle attracted attention from both city representatives and the local chamber.
The Concord Chamber’s event listing and state business records outline the formal side of Arle’s launch, while the City of Concord’s Facebook post offers photos and the owner’s notes on the restaurant’s name, operating hours and ordering details.
