It's a rough time of year for restaurants with the holidays over, folks dieting and the tax man coming around on quarterlies.
There were a couple of December closings already and we've discovered another restaurant has gone dark.
Our WacoFork friend Craig Nash gave me a heads up over the weekend that Mi Tequila wasn't open when he tried to go there. I stopped by on Monday about lunchtime to confirm it. There's a tax notice on the door and it generally appears to be in transition mode. That's all we have on this so far, but it's going to be surprising if Mi Tequila makes a comeback.
Some of the foodies I know would say Mi Tequila is/was perhaps the most on-point taqueria in town with a couple of the best guilty treats in town, including the pig rock.
Gander Mountain Town
We knew about the Starbucks and Potbelly set to go in the shopping center across Valley Mills from HEB, adjacent to the new Gander Mtn. store.
A perusal of the Waco Tribune-Herald revealed a couple of new items of interest.
For one thing, the story by Mike Copeland revealed that the construction is expected be finished by mid-to-late February. Then the restaurants will have the finishing out to do and that likely means they'll open in the mid-April-to-early-June range.
Even more interesting, the story said another new restaurant, Bubba's 33, is going in the shopping center as well. I did a little research and learned the 33 in Bubba's 33 refers to 33-degree beer. So it's cold beer and bar food, so that sounds fantastic.
