ST. CLOUD (WJON News) -- The liquor license has been approved by the St. Cloud City Council for a new restaurant coming downtown.

On Monday night the council held a public hearing for Tequilatown Club & Cuisine at 18 5th Avenue South.  It is opening in the former Searles On 5th Ave. spot, and before that, it was the home of D.B. Searles.

The owner spoke during the public hearing and told the council she plans to serve Mexican and Dominican food.  She says she wants a fast menu with items like nachos and street tacos.
