Tito's Taqueria is open near VCU, and The Foundation is opening next week

• Tableside Trompo (the big stick of meat) is available, plus tequila flights served out of a small airplane, a hot pink cocktail called La Barbie, at least one cocktail served in a mini bathtub — complete with tiny rubber ducky — and build-your-own ice cream sundaes out of a mini ice cream cart.

There are more than a dozen taco options, served up in threes starting at $10.95. Also on the menu, burritos, quesadillas, fajitas and other traditional entrees.

• Open daily for lunch and dinner.

🎶 The Foundation, a live entertainment spot serving cocktails and small plates, is hosting a soft opening party on Saturday from 4-8pm.

• It's the first entertainment concept from local mega restaurant group, the Lindsey Food Group, and in the former Sandman Casino Bar at 401 E. Grace St.

Capacity will be limited for the soft opening, but the official opening is Wednesday, so there will be plenty of less exclusive chances to check it out.

• Future nightly shows will include jazz, blues and comedy, the Times-Dispatch reported last year.

Coming soon:

🍩 The Treat Shop's third Richmond-area location should open this month at 6501 Iron Bridge Road in Chesterfield.

• True to its name, the shop serves ice cream, housemade doughnuts, funnel cakes, cotton candy, fried snickers, plus corn dogs, hot dogs, BBQ and other fair-type food you wish you could eat all year long.

🍨 Davvero Gelato, a vegan gelato shop, is in the works for Lakeside, at 6931 Lakeside Ave.

• The shop should open by July.
