Mexican Restaurant Rosa Madera Filling Former Horn Barbecue Space in Old Town Elk Grove

A Mexican restaurant chain has chosen a prominent location in Old Town Elk Grove for its second local site, with an owner of the business saying the building’s size was part of its appeal.

Rosa Madera will open at 9700 Railroad St. in Elk Grove next year, according to Gabriela Lopez, one of the Mexican restaurant’s owners. The Elk Grove space was most recently occupied by Horn Barbecue, which permanently closed the local site earlier this year.

“We had been considering Elk Grove for quite some time,” said Lopez, citing the city’s growth.

Scott Kingston, Matt Axford, and Shilo Rochelle from Turton Commercial Real Estate worked on this deal.
