TotalBank wants to seize a Hialeah Gardens service station and restaurant.

The Miami-based bank filed a foreclosure action on Monday against Nu Nez Realty Co. and managing members Enrique Nunez, Carmen Nunez, Armando Abreu and Lourdes Abreu, according to Miami-Dade County Circuit Court records. It’s over a mortgage last modified at $3.2 million in March 2009.

Nu Nez Realty bought the 10,257-square-foot center for $4.8 million in 2005 with help from a TotalBank loan. The tenants include a Shell service station and Mima’s Cocina Restaurant, which is registered to Armando Abreu and Lourdes Abreu guaranteed fast personal loans. The restaurant was named in the foreclosure action, but the gas station was not.

Miami attorney Manuel Garcia-Linares, who represents TotalBank in the lawsuit, did not immediately return a call seeking comment.
