CHARLOTTE — Restaurateur Manny Flores is expanding his portfolio with a new taqueria concept.
The first location of Que Fresa is set to open later this year at 1500 W. Morehead St. in Charlotte’s FreeMoreWest neighborhood.

Flores signed a deal this week for the former Picante Mexican Grill spot, which recently closed after a decade. Picante owner Anthony Diresh said sales were strong, but the timing was right to sell.
“It just checks off our entire list,” Flores says of the 2,000-square-foot space. “It’s a young area. It’s developing very quickly.”
He’s teaming up with Roger Lemus and Juan Romero on the Que Fresa brand. He expects to invest between $200,000 and $300,000 in the West Morehead location, which should open later this year.
