Cocina Luchadoras is calling off its move… for now.
Owner Rosalyn Vera said Wednesday that “unforeseen circumstances” were keeping her at the eatery’s original Fells Point location “for the time being.” She had previously said she planned to move her restaurant from 253 S. Broadway to a larger space nearby at 1801 E. Lombard.
The Lombard location had been home to tiki bar The Jungle Room, which announced in an Instagram post Friday that it was permanently closed.
Vera had expressed mixed emotions about the move, which she first announced on social media a week earlier. While the restaurant had outgrown the Broadway storefront, she remained attached to the location Cocina Luchadoras had called home for seven years.

“This is where I started,” she said. There were nights she slept on a table in the 10-seat restaurant after working prep.

Last year, Vera announced that she planned to open a second location for her eatery in Mount Vernon, but those plans were later scrapped. She also operated a paleta shop in Highlandtown, Hecho en Baltimore, which is currently closed.
