“We will be closed Friday, May 1st, in celebration of May Day. There is no world in which breakfast tacos are served week in and week out without the labor of our incredible team and tomorrow we celebrate them, the backbone of our restaurant and every restaurant worth their salt. Breakfast tacos will be back on Saturday bright and early como siempre. Tomorrow we’re taking a field trip then getting boozy brunch. Hasta el sábado entonces!!”

“Dear PoPville,

I love La Tejana for many reasons, this is one of them.” (more…)

TO SUPPORT ALL THIS, WE ARE LAUNCHING A CURATED OUTDOOR MARKET EVERY OTHER SATURDAY THROUGH THE END OF SEPTEMBER. MAY 16TH WILL BE OUR FIRST MARKET DAY: 11AM – 2PM. (more…)

“Dear PoPville,

Do you know what is happening with Pop’s bagels in Mount Pleasant? They were open but the last few times I’ve tried to go they were inexplicably closed when online it said they should be open. No permanently closed sign or online post…

END OF AN ERA: Dos Gringos Closing at the end of the month in Mount Pleasant. La Lucha, “sandwiches & more” coming soon.

And now for the bad news…

Thanks to Terry and Naomi for sending this incredibly sad news from Mount Pleasant:
