Newport Beach's Javier's Eyes El Torito Grill in BH

Although El Torito Grill on Wilshire in Beverly Hills is still up and running, management filed for bankruptcy in the fall and is currently paying month to month until the building's landlord finds a new tenant. While nothing is even close to being finalized, Javier's, an upscale-ish Mexican restaurant born in Newport Beach, with outposts in Irvine and Cabo, is looking to take over. If this deal comes to fruition, it won't be for quite some time. [EaterWire]
