Oscar Torres Brings Costa Mexicana to Rutland | Montpelier News

Oscar Torres, the visionary behind Little Mexico in Ludlow, is bringing his bold flavors to Rutland with the opening of Costa Mexicana—set for early September at 124 Woodstock Ave. After noticing the closure of Pao Pao Latin Cuisine due to health issues, Torres saw potential in the spot and jumped on the opportunity, aiming to draw in customers from Killington. With experience dating back to his first restaurant in his early twenties—and a proven track record including Oscar’s Pinatas in Massachusetts—Torres is ready to revitalize the space. While Little Mexico survived a major flood just before opening, this new venture will offer familiar favorites like tacos and burritos, plus fresh seafood and expanded meat options. Though he hasn’t yet tapped city incentives, local officials are thrilled by the momentum, seeing it as a sign of Rutland’s strong, self-sustaining business climate.
