Pablo's Cantina is one of Petersburg's newest dining additions and operated by experienced restaurant owners.

The restaurant at 20 N. Sycamore St. is owned by Petersburg residents Carlos Colindres and Kiersten Ouber, who own the building. Previously, they owned and operated El Mundo restaurant in the same space.

"We had El Mundo for around seven years. COVID hit and we closed it in 2020," Colindres said.

After a four-year hiatus, the partners in life and business are back at it. For 15 years, they continued to own and operate the El Mundo food truck, which they set up only at construction sites on Fort Lee.

According to Colindres, they originally did not want to, but the timing seemed good.
