Prima Cantina has reopened its Sunset Boulevard location, effective Thursday, April 24.
“After a long journey since the fires, our doors are finally reopening this Thursday,” Prima Cantina wrote. “Come celebrate with us—cocktails, good vibes and familiar faces await. We can’t wait to see you.”
The restaurant, located at 15246 Sunset Boulevard, has been closed since the Palisades fire started on January 7. Its Santa Monica location has been open and operating.
It is currently open Monday through Saturday, from 8 a.m. “until the party lasts” with a limited version of the menu, marketing specials and “hour hour all day,” including on beer, margaritas and wine.
“As we go, we will adjust the hours and days to be opened,” Prima Cantina General Manager Janne Peifer said, noting the restaurant has a “brand new AC unit with special filters.”
“Prima Cantina is a reflection of the spirit and essence of Baja, California,” according to its website. “Baja is a diverse region both in culture and geography, which inspires our cooking. Our menu blends elements of the deep culinary heritage of mainland Mexico with the lighter, ocean-inspired, unique coastal cooking of the Baja peninsula, fused with the natural, produce-driven approach of California cuisine.”
Prima Cantina is offering “pick up” food options for those who call the store and place a pick up order. When third-party partners inform the restaurant that drivers can return to the Palisades, the restaurant will become available for online ordering.
The restaurant can also host private events after 4 p.m. To schedule, call 424-413-1862.
