Varonio Hernandez stands ready to serve customers at the newly opened MX Cocina in Midtown Harrisburg.
Harrisburg burrito lovers rejoice–a new restaurant opened today smack-dab in the middle of Midtown.
MX Cocina debuted its second location in the Campus Square building at the corner of N. 3rd and Reily streets. The snug eatery also is accessible from inside its sister restaurant, Brother’s Pizzeria.
“We selected this location because of all the foot traffic,” said Varonio Hernandez, who is running the restaurant with his brother, Carlos.
The first MX Cocina opened outside Linglestown last year in the former home of Smoke BBQ. The new Harrisburg spot is designed for a more urban customer base that wants a quickly made meal and a walkable location, said Hernandez.
MX Cocina features burritos, burrito bowls, tacos and other Tex-Mex staples in made-to-order style like Chipotle or Neato Burrito. All ingredients are made fresh that day, said Hernandez.
The Midtown location is designed mostly for takeout, with a few high-top tables for those who want to dine in.
MX Cocina is located at 1426 N. 3rd St., Harrisburg. For more information, call 717-234-8300 or visit www.mxcocina.com.
