The nice lady, Annie, did pass away from pneumonia.


I knew one of the girls who worked there, someone told me that her mother recently passed away, so she stopped waiting tables. Might have been her mother.

FYI, the place re-opened under new management. It's now called "La Cabana", it was bought out by a relative of the previous owner.

They will still sell $1.50 tacos and other taqueria fare, though they will offer some regular restaurant entrees as well (menu differs from the last place). They're presently waiting to get their new liquor license, when they get it, they're going to have a live mariachi band perform on the weekends as well.

They're also in the process of adding a small grocery store area. I haven't had the chance to try the food yet, but the place looks promising.

Yeah, a guy I know bought it after Tex Mex closed, and called it Margarita's. It didn't last long, for reasons that I can't go into here

La Mexicana/La Cabana both inhabit the same spot that Tex Mex and Margarita's were in.

Nope. I didn't eat at restaurants until after I graduated from LSU.

I don't drink either, so I'd know even less about what night drink specials fell on

I have no idea if the food was good there. I never thought that was a good location for a restaurant, so the food might not have been the reason why the place eventually closed.
