The former Medici Lounge space at Ninth and Folsom has been a source of confusion for us for some time, because after appearing closed about eighteen months back it continued to open for the odd weekend event, and it’s been for grabs since January 2010. Now the Scoop catches wind of the new tenant: Azucar (299 Folsom Street), a Mexican street food eatery and cocktail bar from former Redwood Room bartender Jon Ojinaga. The idea is small plates, mostly under $10, and Latin-inspired cocktails. He’s aiming for an early November opening. [Scoop]
