La Zona Opens on Magnolia

Magnolia’s newest restaurant opened in January. La Zona is divided into two buildings — one named Hotel Madrid that serves pizzas, tapas, beer, and cocktails, and another dedicated to coffee and churros (Saint Sofia). The former Rhodes car dealership at the corner of S. Lake and Magnolia was previously home to a barbershop.
