This food truck and restaurant served Miami for 15 years. Now it's closing in MiMo
After 15 years of sharing gorgeously gooey, cheesy goodness, a popular Miami sandwich restaurant is closing its doors.
Ms. Cheezious, which was opened by Christian Dickens and husband-and-wife team Brian and Fatima Mullins, started in 2010 as a roving food truck. The Mullins opened their first brick-and-mortar spot in the MiMo district in 2015 at 7418 Biscayne Blvd., serving up melts like the grilled blue (cheese) and bacon, a short rib melt and a very Miami croqueta monsieur melt.
On the brand's Instagram account, the restaurant's social media team explained that the building the restaurant is in has been sold.
'Our beloved restaurant will be closing its doors at this location due to the sale of the building,' the post said. 'We cannot express how grateful we are for your support over the past 10 + years. Each visit, each meal shared, and each smile has meant the world to us. You have become a part of our family, and we will cherish these memories forever.'
The brand went on to say that it is 'building out a new location and actively searching for other locations,' then asks fans for any leads on other possible locations. Ms. Cheezious' food trucks are still available for catering and events, and the restaurant plans to be available for delivery and pickup through its website.
Ms. Cheezious made its debut at Art Basel in 2010. Its sandwiches were so popular, it doubled its sales in its first year of existence and the Mullinses bought a second truck. In 2012 and 2013, it won the People's Choice Award for Best Food Truck at the South Beach Wine and Food Festival and went on to be named to the Food Network's Top 25 Food Trucks in the Country.
In early May, one of the brand's food trucks was serving up their famous melts at the F-1 Miami Grand Prix.
The final day of service at the MiMo location will be June 12.
