Is it owned by the same lady? From what I understood she closed Flaco's to move back to Mexico.
No it is a guy. I just remember reading that it was an homage to the old place because he loved it so much.
I ate there right when it opened. It was good but nothing earth shattering.

Moved back to San Diego, I think. They weren't Mexican.


Agree with popeye and karp on Mom's Deli. Legrand's even with its everything incl the kitchen sink mantra is well better. Better meat and better bread.


Agave, which is partly owned by a son of the Chuy's family, is IMO only good if you want to dress up and have a fancy drink in a hip place. The food was very very mediocre and considering price definitely not worth it if you are going to sate your Mexican jones.


And just for fun read this awesome review of a defunct Mexican joint down on 7th St in Soulard.


Restaurants are most effective when the food is edible. Of course, "edible" has different implications for different people. From a safe distance, I once watched a friend -- who will soon complete his long-awaited epic, Cooking with Cheetos -- fry in butter and subsequently devour with a [expletive]-eating grin the contents of an entire can of Spam. Another of my confederates can live happily for months at a time on canned green beans and Kraft Macaroni and Cheese. Like my Spam friend, she is a person who divines a sustaining virtue in many a noxious foodstuff, so I took her down to Soulard with me on an expedition to Romo's Cantina and Grill (subtitled "Mexican International Cuisine"). What we encountered there was perhaps something less than "cuisine"; it should be noted that not even my accomplice's forgiving palate could wholly sanction calling it "fodder."

We need to go on a road trip. I'm the same way. The BEST Mexican Restaurant I've ever been to was in Tucson, AZ. Nothing else has ever come close to comparing to it. It was in a horrible area, but so good.

So we'll take a Thelma and Louise roadtrip, only without the dying in the end.
On our Thelma and Louise roadtrip, we've got to check out El Noa Noa in Denver. To die for.

Yes, we'll map out a route and do baseball games and Mexican restaurants. Maybe we'll get that guy from here to drive his party bus all over the U.S. He can be like our mascot.

If you make it to Colorado, I better be part of your baseball/Mexican food plans.

I guess I'm now being referred to as "that guy".

I knew that bus would come in handy! :)

Oh yes, it's you. I couldn't pinpoint the name of which of the groovy dudes it was.

Well good for you and your bus. Can we paint it like the Partridge Family bus?

I'll have to say no on the paint job, soon enough that baby is getting painted Cardinal red!
