The Woodland Park City Council convened on May 1, 2025, to discuss various agenda items, including a significant proposal for a new restaurant and liquor license. The meeting began with a presentation from Sofia Santojitos, a family-run taco shop that originated in Colorado Springs. The owners expressed their excitement about expanding to Woodland Park, highlighting their diverse menu that includes tacos, tortas, and a variety of snacks, along with daily specials.

During the presentation, the owners shared their vision for the restaurant, emphasizing a family-friendly atmosphere and the importance of offering margaritas alongside their food. They revealed plans for a full bar, featuring specialty drinks crafted by a skilled bartender. The owners expressed hope that their new location would resonate with the Woodland Park community as much as their existing establishments have in Colorado Springs.

Following the presentation, the council opened the floor for public comments, but no attendees chose to speak. The council then moved to a motion for the approval of a new hotel and restaurant liquor license for Sofia's Antojitos, located at 727 Gold Hill Place South. The motion was seconded and unanimously approved by the council members, with a hopeful opening date set for May.

The meeting concluded with no additional new business or reports, marking a successful step forward for Sofia Santojitos as they prepare to establish their presence in Woodland Park. The owners expressed gratitude and anticipation for their upcoming soft opening, inviting council members to visit once they are operational.
