According to several Facebook posts, a popular area Mexican restaurant plans to open a location in Rome early next year.  El Canelo Restaurant of Oneida is reportedly taking over the former Bucky's location on Floyd Ave in the copper city.

Yelp.com lists several reviews of El Canelo, and it seems in addition to their margaritas, the carnitas and shrimp tacos are popular menu items.   The restaurant also advertises a Sunday buffet.  Most of the Yelp reviews seem to be positive.

The Bucky's location, just outside of the Griffiss Business and Technology Park on Floyd Ave has been vacant for some time.  There are currently "for sale" and "for lease" signs on the building.
