Getting a sense of déjà vu?

One year after Chris Evans and Minka Kelly called it quits a second time, the actors were photographed picking up lunch from Hugo's Tacos in L.A. Tuesday. "Chris stayed in the car while Minka picked up the order," an eyewitness tells E! News. It's the same place the exes were caught kissing in October 2012.

Does this mean former couple is back together? "It was just a friendly lunch," a source insists.

The actors, who first dated in 2007, have never discussed their on-and-off romance.

After their 2013 breakup, Evans tried something new: directing! He spent the winter overseeing and starring in the movie Before We Go. "It's good to be done," he told IndieWire. "It's intimidating to be talking about it, because I am so used to being an actor, where your job is a small piece of the puzzle."

Evans was also romantically linked to his childhood crush Sandra Bullock after several public outings. The tight-lipped 33-year-old actor never confirmed the romance reports, while Bullock, 50, laughed them off in June 2014, saying, "We've since married and it started breaking apart, so we separated. We filed for divorce, and I hope everyone can respect our privacy. But we're going to remain friends and share responsibility of the farm animals we've taken on, because you just can't abandon the animals."

He also reprised his role as Captain America in The Avengers: Age of Ultron, in theaters on May 1, 2015. The first trailer for the sequel was released Wednesday after it leaked online.

Kelly, meanwhile, completed the first and only season of Fox's Almost Human. The 34-year-old actress also filmed a movie, The World Made Straight, with Jeremy Irvine, Haley Joel Osment and Noah Wyle. She also scored the lead role in the 2015 movie Papa, co-starring Giovanni Ribisi and Joely Richardson.
