A restaurant and bar called Mis Raices is planned for 7241 W. Indian School Road in Phoenix, and the paperwork so far is more specific about the room than about when anyone can sit in it.

According to WhatNow, the city received a liquor license application for the restaurant on November 6. The application lists the license as pending. An opening date has not been announced, and WhatNow said it reached out to the restaurant and had not heard back by publication.

Who's on the application

The application identifies JJ Corporations Inc. as the business owner, with Josh Rios and Jessica Acosta listed as managers. Mis Raices is seeking a Series 12 restaurant license. Approval is not in the packet of public reporting yet. Pending is still pending.

The Arizona Department of Liquor Licenses & Control describes a Series 12 as an on-sale license for bona fide restaurants. Food has to be the primary business. The sale of spirituous liquor — beer, wine and distilled spirits — is incidental to food service. That is the state's general rule for the license type, not a finding that Mis Raices has one.

A 2,900-square-foot floor plan, patio not included

The submitted floor plan shows a 2,900-square-foot restaurant with booths, tables and bar seating. The bar sits between the kitchen and dining area, with booths along one side of the room. The plans do not include a patio.

For a place whose name puts roots in the title, the public record so far is mostly layout and a license request. No construction timeline, permitting schedule or menu has been reported alongside the application.

What neighbors can actually mark on a calendar

West Phoenix has an address and a floor plan. It does not yet have a date. Until the Series 12 moves off pending, and until someone announces an opening, 7241 W. Indian School Road is a planned restaurant, not a reservation.
