new tex mex - Page 3

I think it is a pity that a popular local business has yet again had to close. We had such fun with Juan and his staff who worked extremely hard and produced fantastically tasty kebabs - an item of food I would not dream of eating in the UK! The place was always clean and food prepared freshly, it was a pleasure to watch a young man working with such enthusiasm and earnestness and 'reading' his workplace. He knew his customers, was efficient and rarely missed a new customer taking a seat and he was loads of fun!. We will miss him

Does anyone know why the kebab shop has stopped trading ? We too are sorry to see it go it was always busy so assume it was financially viable. Just wondering what made juan move on.😿

I was told that the lease had run out.

I agree with Can Balache on this one. There are loads of lovely restaurants along that neck of the woods and if the new Tex-Mex attratcts people that wouldnt venture along there otherwise then whats not to like?

Running along that strip you have Brisa marina, Los faroles, Simbad, Can Josep, La Gola, Los Zarzales, Tolos and another couple of ones that escape me just now. Each and every one of them authentic Mallorquian (sp?) kitchens. Add in Citrus, Can Balache, Bar Med and Sail and surf surely this will soon become the most vibrant part of town?

You are correct rab there are some cracking places down that end and that is where we tend to gravitate to now, used can balache for the 1st time tbh for drinks a few times over Xmas and was very nice too

I really hope the tex mex does draw folks to that end of town which will surely help other businesses there too

I was told that the lease was up and the property owners were unwilling to reduce the rental over the winter months, in particular the ice cream parlour part as both businesses were connected, just not sustainable during winter

Strange that everyone says what a good place the kebab shop was yet I cant seem to remember any write ups on it ( im sure i will be corrected) so its gone and im with others if TEX Mex brings people to that end of the town great.

For those who feel they've missed a chance, there's always El Kiosko!! Never thought I'd 'dine' there but surprisingly good cheeseburger in the small hours after too much sauce at Nostalgia! Give 'em a go!

You tend not to get "write ups" about these type of places, they're basically quick stop fast food establishments, which are fine for customers who want it that way, and are after a quick snack then move on.

I remember Maureen at Citrus telling us last October that the owner of Miguelon was saying that trade was very poor and that some lunctimes they had no customers at all. And every time we walked past in the evenings, there were very few people in. I wonder sometimes if its down to the increasing All Inclusive deals offered by the hotels. A friend of mine went to PP for the first time last year and I had told her about a few good restaurants but in the end they just ate at the hotel every night
