This Mexican Restaurant in Davison is Getting Closer to Opening

Genesee County residents are eagerly awaiting the opening of a new Mexican restaurant on Lapeer Road in Davison.

In October 2023, rumors began circulating on social media about changes taking place at the former Big Boy on Lapeer Road in Davison, which had closed after decades of business.

People first noticed that the windows were completely covered with paper, blocking anyone from seeing inside, and there was a giant dumpster out back that helped keep speculation alive about what was happening.

At the time, residents had no idea what was going to take the place of their beloved Big Boy.

Months went by before word got out that Davison would soon be home to a popular restaurant with an existing location in Genesee County.

El Cozumel Mexican Grill, located in Burton at Courtland Center Mall, will be opening a second location in Davison in the former Big Boy building.

While there are a lot of Mexican restaurants in Genesee County, this one is truly a favorite among locals who rave about its food, service, and atmosphere.

Construction on the new restaurant has been underway for quite some time, but if you've passed by lately, you'll notice they're in the home stretch and should be ready to open soon.

MLive reported earlier this year that the restaurant would be opening this spring, but it's still unclear if that's actually going to happen.

We called the Burton location to see if they could provide any details about the new restaurant's opening, but they said there’s no official date yet and couldn’t confirm whether it will open this spring or summer.

From the outside, it sure looks like they're getting close.
