STUART A Palm Beach-based Mexican restaurant hopes to serve its signature margaritas and tacos in the old Rookies building by the end of the year.

Officials with Cabo Flats Cantina & Tequila Bar announced Wednesday the company will open its third location in the historic building near the foot of the Roosevelt Bridge.

Weve had a lot of people from Stuart and the Treasure Coast that have been coming to our Palm Beach Gardens location for four years now, said Adam Robin, Cabo Flats director of operations. It is our pleasure now to open this new Cabo Flats in their backyard and make our famous margaritas and fresh food available to more of the Treasure Coast.

The original Cabo Flats opened in 2009 at Downtown at the Gardens in Palm Beach Gardens and a Delray Beach location opened in 2013.

Robin said the Stuart restaurant could open in November or December in the old Rookies building built in 1926 as the Rob Roy Hotel. He said the company has plans to continue expanding and could have five locations across the state by the end of 2015.

Hog Snappers Shack and Sushi, a popular Tequesta-based restaurant, is under construction next door near at the site of the former Bubbas Fish Camp. Hog Snappers is expected to open in mid-August.

Jeff Hardin, president of Straticon Construction Services, and with his wife, Christine, bought the 1.34-acre site containing the former Rookies and Bubbas in February 2013.

Rookies and Bubbas have been closed and vacant for about 10 years and were considered an eyesore near the south foot of the Roosevelt Bridge.
