The in-law’s came to visit — at the time we hadn’t gotten to know our neighborhood very well, but knew that court street en route to Cobble Hill and beyond was scenic and seemed likely to have a cute cafe. We were originally going to stop in at Joya, which allegedly not only has great food, but also a pretty good DJ. I’m still not sure how I feel about a DJ in a restaurant — not outside in the garden part, but actually indoors right by the tables.
The wait for Joya was ~ 20mins, which we were fine with, if father and son had not spied Lobo across the street. Tex-Mex had piqued their interest, and reviewing the menu outside they saw goodness inside. The interior has a woody – Texan bar feel. The menu looked more Mex, than Tex, but I suppose they mean that this is a Texas style of Mexican food. The chips and salsa they served at our table was very good and got our hopes up. But the food itself was tasty but not anything to write home about. I got the portobello fajita which was satisfying if a bit unimaginative. The Margaritas were also tasty, though very icy. The prices were pretty reasonable, that’s probably the best part of this place. Otherwise we probably should’ve waited for Joya.
