Mi Cocina is slated to open later this spring in the former M Cafe space (5471-5481 Wisconsin Ave., Chevy Chase, MD), restaurant spokesperson Sue List told Patch.
Mi Cocina is owned by the privately held M Crowd Restaurant group, which has restaurants in Dallas/Fort Worth, the Houston area, Tulsa and Atlanta, according to Mi Cocina's website. Mi Cocina's menu includes standard Tex-Mex fare (fajitas, enchiladas, tacos), as well as house specials.
M Cafe, its sister restaurant Famoso and Piazza Sempione, the luxury women’s apparel store that shared the space with the restaurants, shuttered quite suddenly on April 19, 2011, Patch reported. The space has been vacant in the upscale shopping center The Collection at Chevy Chase for nearly two years.

Editor's note: The headline of this story has been updated to reflect that the restaurant will open in late spring of 2013, not late March 2013. The Patch regrets the error.

It might do well but there is fierce competition.
Rosa Mexicana and Chipotle are within blocks. Clyde's, Chadwick's and Lias are there also plus Sushi and Potomac Pizza all fighting for the same consumer .
I loved Cafe M brcsuse of the upscale ambiance so Mexican is going to be hard. Hope they have good Mokitos
