    Senior Mojito's -- closed permanently

    Just wondering if anyone has any info on the new restaurant that is opening up near the 331 Bridge? I drive by it twice a day, just curious.

    I heard it was the mexican place that is located in High Pointe at the moment. Not sure if it is a 2nd location or they are moving to just this place. Forgot the name - sorry.

    The old Sea Bar/Ball's Out location is now called Senor Mojitos...I assume it is the same type place as that in High Pointe.

    I drive by it every work day, twice a day and have been waiting for a sign to go up. It went up this past week I agree about the mexican restaurant---we drive into Destin when the craving hits (about once a week!). And if you know of anyone who needs a job-they have "now hiring" signs out front.

    Senior Mohito's -- on the Bay (hwy 331)

    Three days ago, the parking lot was filled. I thought it may be employee training, or a practice opening. No "open" sign seen. Yesterday, I noticed several cars in the parking lot, plus the Budweiser delivery truck, and though I didn't stop, I cannot help but wonder if they are having a soft (unannounced) opening. Does anyone know?

    Is this place somehow affiliated with the Senior Mojitos at High Pointe?

    I have heard talk that they are the same, although the one on the Bay looks like it could have much more atmosphere.

    Mojitas is owned by a nice guy named Shane. Last I heard he was trying to open by last wednesday. We all know how that goes. He does own another store at Rosemary in a resort. I don't spend much time out there so I don't know much about it. As far as the atomospere, it is the same setting as Ball's Out/Seabar/Mangos but nicer and cleaner. The parking lot is even level and the landscape has been drastically cleaned up. Shane tells me that they are going to put the dock back into use. As far as entertainment, he says it will be limited, probably just on weekends. He wants to focus on the food. I for one hope that this part changes. The menu, "Mexibean" (mex./carribbean) looks good. It has stuff no one else around here has. Here is the number 231-0999 Tell 'em Southern Groove sent ya.

    opening the dock would be interesting as someone built a privacy fence blocking it off from that property. It is connected to the adjacent property. I wonder if Senior Mohito's is getting permission to use it.

    We need some chips and salsa to go with live music.

    Yeah I can't wait for it to open

    I believe both properties (Mojitos And Dock) belong to Loyd Blue so I would imagine they worked out a deal to include the dock. Come to think of it, I am kinda hungry for some Mexibbean food.

    I drove by last night and there were many cars in the parking lot and a large OPEN sign out front.

  22. #20
    Ooh, I can't wait to try this place! I may have to check it out on my night off.

    One of the bartenders used to work with me at Carillon, and he makes the best Mojito I've ever had. If you're jonesing for a good mojito, go in and ask for Alex.

    WTF? With a name like Senior Mohitos, how can you not be a Mexican restaurant and bar?

    Mojito is a cuban drink. Señor is a word in more places than just Mexico. Everyone toss in a couple of grand apiece and we can go buy a place and serve chips and salsa. If we make them good maybe we'll even stay in business being member owned and supported..kinda like a credit union and public broadcasting. Seriously....

    I guess we were hoping against hope that it was a TexMex place. I heard it had a caribbean flair. I would think TexMex would be a more popular cuisine, but what do I know.

    Maybe the name, "Senor" is throwing me off. Now I must see the menu.

    It'll be like that scene in Cheech and Chong where they are in the car and Chong is rolling a Doobie, But it'll be DD behind the bar in the Sowal version:
    Cheech/elgordoboy:"What are you doing man? You are supposed to be selling that!"
    Chong/DD: "I am man, don't worry."
    Cheech/elgordoboy: "Oh yeah? To who man?"
    Chong/DD: "Me man, I'm my best customer!"

    The above is an approximation of the scene to the best of my recollection at present.

    Sounds like we need to recast SoWal.com- The Movie and write a new script to include "DD and Gordo play Cheech and Chong at Senor Mojitos"...

    We went last night.

    Had the baked oysters and mojitos. Both were delicious!

    We'll definitely go back often.
