- Meeting Overview:
Overview: In a recent Boston Licensing Board meeting, Cantina Hospitality LLC’s proposal to establish a Taco Bell on Maverick Square in East Boston took center stage. The proposed fast-food outlet, set to be operational from 8:00 AM to 2:00 AM, aims to employ 40 to 50 local residents and enhance the neighborhood’s dining landscape.
