El Conquistador in the Hands of L&E's Dustin Lancaster

Sharp shooter Dustin Lancaster and partner Tyler Bell plus chef Spencer Bezaire of Silver Lake's beloved L&E Oyster Bar are in escrow to seize the nearby and shuttered El Conquistador landmark Mexican restaurant about a mile away on Sunset Boulevard. The team isn't ready to share their vision for the space though Lancaster says Bezaire is presently working on his menu. But, based on the business LLC title, "La Conq LLC," sounds like quesadillas and burritos could remain in the cards, definitely with an overhauled and improved bar program. [EaterWire]
