Cilanto Fusion, another south-of-the-border newcomer (La Brisa opened just last week at 375 South Pearl Street), is picking up where Juan's left off, and while a sign on the door promises "delicious Mexican cuisine, outstanding margaritas, fresh fruit mojitos, martinis and much more," a second note makes it clear that Juan's previous regulars won't be forgotten: "Special note to Juan's customers: We will keep Juan's green chili."

Unfortunately, you'll have to wait until mid-August to get your fix, because that's when Cilantro Fusion is slated to open.
