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.

Senor Mojitos Shrimp Co
I went by on Sunday which was only their second night open. Service at bar was good and all of the management seemed eager to ensure everyone was happy. While waiting for dinner to arrive, I walked out back to take a look around by the bay and a gentleman named Shane walked up and introduced himself and asked me what I thought. I told him it looked great and mentioned that I love Tex-Mex having lived in Texas for many years so I was happy to see the place open. Shane told me that he made great fajitas! At that point, I had already ordered the shrimp tacos so I will try the fajitas next time.
The salsa was the "fresh" type with chunky tomatoes, jalapenos, and onions. I thought it was delicious, but be warned--it was very spicy! The other guests with me commented that the salsa was thin. I agree, but I loved the fresh taste! Maybe they should blend some of the tomatoes to make it a bit thicker rather than leave all of the tomatoes in chunks? But really, the flavor was great ? you just have to scoop up the goodies with your chips! :clap: The chips were good -- the thicker multi-colored kind (not the thin fresh fried restaurant kind), but I happen to like the thicker variety (more corn flavor) and they were warm when they arrived.
As I tend to do?..I ate so much of the salsa and chips that I could eat only one of my three tacos--they were good though. The shrimp were grilled and served in flour tortillas with either mango or pineapple (sorry ? after the margarita I was not very discerning :drink2:), shredded cabbage and fresh tomatoes. I ate the shrimp and fruit out of the remaining two tacos. The portions are good. My honey ordered the Ahi Tuna and really enjoyed it. I tasted it -- very good --a different flavor than the norm -- more seasoned and spicy. The tuna was served on a large bed of greens. They asked him if he wanted the appetizer portion and he said yes, but it seemed like a lot of food for an appetizer.
The margaritas were your typical Margaritas in these parts ? made with a bottled mix of some type rather than fresh juice ? but beware, mine had plenty of alcohol! (I really wish more restaurants in this area would offer margarita?s made with fresh juices rather than mixes. I know I would pay a premium for a fresh juice margarita that I liked!)
I do not recall the full menu, but some other items I noticed were nachos, raw oysters, and fish tacos. Missing were enchiladas, tamales, etc. So I guess they are not typical Tex-Mex, but a mixture of Tex-Mex and Caribbean?
One of the employees mentioned that they would be adding more menu items in the future. He said that they would be getting a wood oven (he may have meant smoker) and that they planned to add ribs and pulled pork to the menu. I must say -- I like that they have a grill and grill the shrimp for the tacos.
So that is my review of Senor Mojitos Shrimp Company! I would go back and try the fajitas for sure!

Menu's were passed out in Seaside during the wine event. A variety if food, but, on the beverage section, no beer listed. Supposed to be a family style place. $$ don't look bad. Hope they have adult beverages.

Been away from the 'puter the last couple of days and did not see the impromptu SoWallers night out. Geo and his lovely wife called us from there, but it's an early night for OM's family with tests tomorrow. Thanks for thinking of us, Geo!:wave:

We stopped in last night just for a drink. It has a cool atmosphere in there.We just sat at the bar and had a drink then left. It hasn't picked up in there yet. The management seemed open to suggestions and have put blood,sweat and tears in the remoldling of that place. They said they were going to have live music there too. Don't know bout the food,didn't look at the menu. They also mentioned having locals cards,perhaps for discounts,something like Love Shack did. They also mentioned that opening up the dock is in the planning. Seems like it could be another good locals hangout. Good luck Senior Mojitos.:wave:

Fish taco, burger and kids hot dog were great! Service was excellent as was the live music. We were sorry that we had to leave early because of it being a school night.

Menu's were passed out in Seaside on Saturday, during wine festival. $$ looked ok, and I was told it was family style. Didn't see any "adult beverages" on the meu. Hope they have some.😀

I thought Margaritas WERE adult beverages.???

Where were you? :idontno:
Sowallers invaded Senor Mojitos last night....they were over 20 of us! Kudos to the great wait staff for keeping up with us! We took over the outside area and enjoyed fun conversation and a rain event! Yes, there were chips and salsa and it was quite good. Told them they needed to add some queso. I had some great shrimp tacos (3 for $10.95) and the young people all said good things about their burgers. The margarita was well priced at $5.50, but since I was still standing after 4 of them, I think they need more booze in them. 😀
The surprise guest was BeachSiO2 and his too cute wife! I had been wanting to meet my Haiku Hurricane Hero and I was not disappointed! I also finally met Geo and his adorable family. Didn't know they moved here from Belleville! Of course, I spotted Geo from his avatar pic, but he didn't have a clue who I was. I gave him a hint and said I was the one that gives him lots of trouble on the board. He laughed and said that didn't narrow it down! :floor:
Also met klauricella, who is just precious! :wave:

I enjoyed seeing everyone last night. The Nachos were good.
The font on the menu really needs to be changed, it's very difficult to read and that was before having drinks.

:lolabove:...oh, so true! DS and I finally made out the menu item names, but who knew what ingredients were in those dishes!

Franny kept insisting that they had burritos. Stupid font. :bang:
It was funn, but does anyone know why they paved that little road instead of just leaving the old road open?
P.S. Senor Mojito's I strongly suggest a gutter for the front canopy. Although the water effect is nice it's not funn to run through in the rain.

And I was glad to meet you also. I hate that we had to run off but that's how it goes. Next time will be a longer visit, maybe after Christmas! It was also nice meeting Dune-ahh and Geo (and family). Plus seeing Punzy, Skunky and the Darg's is always good except that JDarg wasn't there. :(

:wave: I was on the couch. Dr. Skunky will be fixing me in about an hour, I hope.
I'm so bummed to have missed y'all too!:wub:
