POCATELLO — A new Mexican restaurant called Cielito Lindo Cocina Mexicana will soon open in Pocatello at the former Uncle Jim’s location.

Brandon DesFosses, investor and partner of the restaurant, explained it will offer breakfast, lunch and dinner options, which will include different types of burritos and fajitas.

Breakfast items include chorizos, fajita omelets and breakfast burritos.

“We’ll have more authentic Mexican style dishes,” he said. “We’ll have American dishes too.”

American options will include T-bone and New York steaks. Breakfast options will include omelettes, pancakes and waffles.

DesFosses explained that the restaurant is owned by Eric Guiterrez, who is originally from Mexico but came to the United States in the early 2000s.

Guiterrez lived in California for a time before moving to Pocatello. He has worked several different restaurant positions before deciding to open his own.

“It’s literally the American Dream,” said DesFosses.

The restaurant was set to have its soft opening on Saturday, Aug. 6. The grand opening will be held a week later on Saturday, Aug. 13.

Cielito Lindo is located at 1011 Pocatello Ave. at the former Uncle Jim’s location that closed down back in May.
