Los Mocajetes – Mexican Food and Finger Tips

Los Molcajetes over on Texas and Villa Maria…behind the Starbucks..has really tasty food. Their Charra Beans are really tasty. My 3 year old son likes them so much that he puts his straw in the bean juice and drinks it. I tried it and it’s pretty good.

Anyway, the staff is really nice. The restaurant is clean and friendly, and the food is great.

Here’s the cool thing, you might notice that at the far end of the restaurant…the opposite side from where the front door is, there’s a “cubist” painting of a blue lady holding a glass on the tips of her fingers. I noticed this the first time we ate there and thought it was interesting. Then I needed a refill on my drink.

The server brings the drink on the tips of her fingers…just like in the painting. How cool. My kids all finished their drinks as fast as they could so they could get a refill.

Turns out, one of the waitresses started it a while ago, and she taught the other servers, and it stuck. I thought it was really cool.

The painting came after…art imitating life. It was painted by David Garrett..a local artist…who is also painting the mural on the outside wall of the restaurant.

There will be a large version of the blue lady there very soon. So, turn your head toward the restaurant when you are driving on Texas Avenue close to Villa Maria.

I most definitely recommend this restaurant. We haven’t been out there for breakfast, but we will one of these days. Their Beef Fajita Nachos are really tasty, and make sure and try the Queso Fundido. It’s not like queso dip, it’s more like a plate of melted cheese with your choice of stuff to go in it (chorizo, ground beef, etc.) or plain. Yum.

There is a couple of coupons for this restaurant in the coupon book I posted about earlier this year.

By the way, I haven’t seen them drop a cup…yet.
