I was browsing through Monster.com and saw this company hiring. We need a Mexican restaurant on 30-A really bad. Anybody heard anything?

Senor Mojitos is the on-premises restaurant/grill at High Pointe resort. It's basically a beachside bar that also serves quick food.
The type of folks they usually hire are bartenders/short-order cooks. Cool little spot, though. Great view of the gulf.

OK, thanks. I thought it was a new place coming here. You can find out alot about new businesses coming by checking who is hiring at Monster. Well anyway, we could sure use a good Mexican restaurant here on 30-A

Will it be open to the public? I thought it was just for High Point guests?
How do you get in?

I was under the assumption it was just for High Point guests. I have visited before when it was Cascades... it's a nice little spot to stop if you're walking that part of the beach.

I haven't been since it became Senor Mojitos, but I'm sure that if you sat down, they'd be happy to serve you.
I'm pretty sure it can only be accessed from the beach and the High Point pol, so the only problem I can foresee is trying to get there from the parking lot.

There is public access across from Village at Secrest. Just park somewhere over there and walk over to the beach.

Anyone can go there, it isn't restricted.

I agree about needing a mexican joint sooo bad. I noticed a place where old cowgirl kitchen was, La Botana...judging by the logo on the sign ("latin vintages & small plates"),
not the type of mexican I'm looking for!
oh well...

(chacun son gout / to each his own). the latin vintages, small plates joint is just the kind of place I can't wait to check out when we come down to seagrove with our friends for a week. we're staying in summers edge again, so that is a nice bike ride away if its where I'm thinking, beside the coffee shop. On a side note on Amavida.. does anyone else here wish Amavida would open way earlier than they do? I think they're opening time is like 8am, which to people visiting from the EST zone, feels like 9am, which is 2 hours past when they wanted their morning fix. just wondering if anyone else has had the same feeling I've had on that, and had been forced to the Tom Thumb for a styro cup of diesel coffee.
we're getting excited thinking about it, and we're introducing 4 friends of ours, 2 from SoCal, and 2 from NY to the area for the first time, and so we're hoping they'll agree with our take on the area without prompting.
I'm thinking they're going to be very surprised by what they see.

Amavida is so awesome, I agree about early opening. I did notice the seagrove location open at 7 yesterday. try there maybe.
I have no idea what the "latin vintage & small plates" place is about. Just think it's a really weird choice of words to use as a logo....
small plates...implies, what? little food? tapas? (to me translates as little food, high prices)
and latin vintages is great, if you're a wine person (hasn't that been tried already that plaza? Larder??)
What is so hard about some burritos, enchiladas, and pitchers of margaritas??
ample & affordable...as mexican SHOULD BE!
just my opinion...

mexican restaurant on 30-a
i've been saying the exact same thing about needing a mexican restaurant on 30-a - an affordable one! before dave opened his taco bar in seaside, i thought an airstream in seaside with tacos, queso and chips and a few other goodies would do very well. when the great mexican restaurant that used to be where the fish house in seagrove closed, i was heartbroken. now we usually go to cantina laredo in grand blvd - great margaritas and food - however, i would prefer to stay on 30-a, of course!!

yummm, Luna Del Mar...miss that place!
still was a bit pricey for mexican, to me... but it was so tasty, I didn't even care & those Margy's would do the trick for sure! Good thing I'm in walking distance...
......RIP Luna...

It does boggle the mind that somebody doesn't do the Tex-Mex thing. Most of the ingredients are cheap, people come in looking to drink booze (hello profit$) and a survey of your local eateries will find many hispanic workers in the kitchen anyway. I nominate that mysterious eatery just east of the Spicy Noodle to go Tex-Mex.

mysterious eatery???
hmmm...
not sure
but, you have my vote!

I am really excited about the opening of La Botana- anyone know of a firm opening date?
"Latin vintages and small plates" sound absolutely wonderful!

Yeah, yeah, but we are in desperate need of big plates loaded with grease, salt and cold Dos Equis from the keg

We have need for both.
Hey- can we walk to Senor Mojitos from your casa?

I don't think "walking there" is the issue. The issue may well be, "walking from". :funn: You can park at mi casa, it's closer.
