There’s no escaping it. When you gaze at the silhouette of the building that houses Pera Wine & Tapas from the parking lot, you’re looking the shell of a decades-old Taco Bueno. This is a house that beans built, though the smell of lard-laden pintos has vanished long ago. Inside, tables draped in white linen […]
