Winter Haven, FL — Six/Ten LLC (SixTen), a developer of
commercial and residential properties in Winter Haven and other Florida cities,
has completed a 2,000 SF lease to bring Mexican restaurant El Norteño to downtown Winter Haven in the same space where Publix

The restaurant is located at 58 4th Street, NW and is now open for business.
El Norteño is relocating from 1925 6th Street N.W. where it has been for 15 years. Established in 2000, El Norteño is owned and
operated by Elizabeth Rangel, and
offers authentic Mexican cuisine.
“Downtown is thriving because of the renovation of buildings,
including numerous projects on my block alone,” said Rangel. “The area has
become a popular dining destination.”
“An increase in retail traffic and offices downtown has
made this area very appealing for local restaurants,” said Six/Ten’s leasing
agent, Chad Lennox. “Leasing activity has been brisk.”
George Jenkins
opened the first Publix at the location on September 6, 1930. It wasn’t until
10 years later that he opened the second Publix, located just two blocks away
in Winter Haven.
Six/Ten has modernized and upgraded the location
considerably, but has maintained its original charm by leaving exposed brick,
refurbishing the wood floors and constructing a central bar. El Norteno also
offers a full array of beer, wine and spirits.
“We look forward to the being the latest reason to sip
and dine in downtown Winter Haven,” said Rangel.
