sweetbasil Posted May 31, 2008 Share Posted May 31, 2008 Heard mention of this about a year ago--- it was supposed to be going in with Goode's BBQ. The Goode's sign is up (actually a teensy bit W of 1960 on Wortham Center), that little cut-through road to Wortham Blvd., but haven't seen/heard anything about Lupe Tortilla. Especially w/Barton Springs turning into Chuy's, I wonder how much more TexMex we'll be getting. Though Las Rosas isn't a place we'll set foot in ever again, and Rico's at 1960/Wortham Blvd. supposedly closed its doors too.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrfootball Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 Lupe's would do well at the Spring Cypress intersection and/or Barker Cypress. It might do well over there by the Goode Co., but that corner of 290 and 1960 is somewhat limited in terms of available space. Of course, they're building a nice big Alicia's pad site next to the current location, so they'd have some stiff competition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hbcu Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 how much tex-mex can one take....if it ain't full-scale restaurant, it's a small taqueria, if not that, it's a taco truck on someone's parking lot...damn..as a brotha.....why can't we have more soul food places pop up like that? lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We used to always go to a place on the square in Oxford called Smitty's. It was the best damn food I ever ate, the plumb cobbler was unlike anything I have had before or since, but sadly the old woman who owned it passed away and it closed : (I agree, not too many places in the GNW to get some good vegetables or smothered porkchops...

hbcu Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 I grew up SW but moved to the NW a few years back and in my search for soul food I always found myself going towards Acres Homes or back into the city...same thing for decent shrimp fried rice as the place I found was on ella before it burned downsupposedly, a soul food place off 1960 near Westfield opened up a few years back but I never found the place and I hear it sucks....outside of that nothing along 1960 as there was a place a few years back in the strip Shipley's occupies but it's been closed down for quite some time...it's odd no one has opened such a place in the area as it would do well if the food is decent to great...but location has to be great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimcas Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 I don't eat soul food - but isn't there a place called Mama's Cajun Cuisine that just opened? I think it's by the HEB Barker Cypress if memory serves me correctly... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
