OAK CLIFF—Remember how Bishop Arts taco stand El Padrino closed down to make way for a new concept from Alberto Lombardi's daughter called Mercantile? According to Lombardi Family Concepts, that project has been abandoned: "A combination of budgets and costs associated with retrofitting and renovating a historic structure was the basis for the decision."
