This just in from the prospective new owner of the Mesa Cafe:
Dear John,
Thank you for your always awesome restaurant notes, I really enjoy reading all the food related news.
The Mesa Cafe is going to continue to operate the same way it has for the past 29 years. Serving great American comfort food, offering breakfast, lunch, dinner banquet facilities and full bar not to forget the famous bloody Marie’s and margaritas. Most importantly our current wonderful team is going to continue to operate with us.
I’ve run the Mesa Cafe for the past 20 years and I don’t see any reasons to change any of our business structure. There may be some small changes it the future, but nothing mayor.
Ramiro Elizalde
YAY RAMIRO!! Thank you for keeping the Mesa Cafe the traditional family restaurant we’ve known and loved for decades. Congratulations on taking over sole ownership. We can now breathe a collective sigh of relief knowing that no major changes aee planned.
Good news. After I posted my comment I started thinking mmmm, maybe there is some rumor there. A friend came by last nigh who gets dinner there 5 or 6 nights a week and I decided not to mention it to him or the other Mesa regulars in my pack. He would have had a heart attack at the tought of it turning into a Mexician resturaunt and I would have had to listen to it for naught.
What’s a bloody Marie? Made with tequila perhaps?
I am sure he meant Bloody Mary. It was written by Ramiro Elizalde, perhaps English is his second language. Made with Tequila it is a Bloody Maria.
All I can say is Whew!!
I was content to consider it a rumor. Good news and Congratulations!
Great news!!
