A new Mexican restaurant will open in the former Overland Park Wyandot Barbecue space, according to real estate agent Daniel Brocato of Block Real Estate.
Las Palomas Bar and Grill is expected to open at 7215 W. 75th St. by the end of May.
The new restaurant, owned by Sergio Sevilla, will serve Mexican dishes and cocktails, although its menu has not yet been finalized.
Wyandot Barbecue closed in January. The barbecue restaurant opened at 8441 State Ave. in Kansas City, Kansas, in 1977. In 1980, founder Ron Williams decided to open another in Johnson County.
After Williams died in February, his son, Ron Williams II, took over both operations, but it proved too difficult.
His father had already planned to sell the Johnson County restaurant before his death.
“That’s what my dad wanted all along, to keep his original barbecue,” Williams’ son told the Star earlier this year. “It’s bittersweet.”
