Brick Cantina Mexican Restaurant is headed to 200 Merrow Road in Tolland, taking over the former Lee's Garden space next to Verizon at Meeting House Commons. The new spot is expected to open in November, bringing a second location to the Mexican eatery that opened its first restaurant in Hebron just over a year ago.
The Tolland location will operate with a more take-out-oriented model and limited seating, according to The Connecticut Scoop, which first reported the expansion. That setup marks a shift from the full-service feel of Brick Cantina's original restaurant, suggesting the new location is built more for grab-and-go orders than sit-down dining.
The reported menu for the Tolland spot includes a lineup of familiar Mexican staples: tacos, nachos, fajitas, enchiladas, quesadillas, chimichangas and burritos, alongside soups, salads, steak and fish entrees. The pairing of quick-service tacos with heartier plated options mirrors what Brick Cantina already serves at its flagship.
From Hebron Storefront to a Second Town
Brick Cantina opened its first location at 54 Main Street in Hebron in April 2025. That restaurant's menu, per the outlet's earlier coverage of the original spot's debut on theconnecticutscoop.com, also leans on Mexican favorites alongside soups, salads, steak and fish entrees — the same general formula now headed to Tolland.
On its website, Brick Cantina describes its food as made-from-scratch, prepared with authentic recipes and fresh ingredients, according to brickcantinact.com. The site also emphasizes a takeout-and-catering approach, inviting customers to enjoy the restaurant's dishes at home or build a catered spread for a celebration — language that lines up closely with the limited-seating model planned for the new Tolland address.
What's Already on the Menu
Brick Cantina's online ordering menu gives a preview of what diners might find once the Tolland doors open, including shredded chicken enchiladas topped with tomatillo sauce, melted cheese and red onion, as well as steak dishes, shrimp plates and grilled Atlantic salmon. The restaurant keeps its full menu posted at brickcantinact.com for anyone looking to browse ahead of a visit.
The building itself sits within Tolland Meetinghouse Commons, a shopping center at 200 Merrow Road whose tenant directory lists Verizon among its businesses, according to a property listing from charterrealty.com. Once Brick Cantina opens its doors, the company will have two locations running at the same time across Hebron and Tolland.
