We left a message for Alvarez Tuesday but haven’t heard back yet.

Anderson says Alvarez also leased the adjacent Oak Cliff Mercantile Building for an office and a gallery concept that is still being developed. Alvarez also is subleasing a space in the mercantile building for a concept that Anderson says he can’t talk about yet, but it’s not a restaurant, he says.

El Padrino closed in November 2012 because the building owner decided to lease the space to Sarah Lombardi, who had planned a hot dogs and frozen custard concept there but backed out this past May.
