Azteca (Elvis Heaven) Needs Our Help!

Ok, I'll chime in ... I thought the place provided a wonderful good time. Of course, the company was great. But the decor all around, the happy staff, and especially the tongue in cheek (and other places) decor of the restrooms make the place legendary to me.

That said - and based on my one-time, personal experience only - the food was so-so and the margaritas were meh. I'd still come down Saturday night if I am able, but I have prior plans.

And frankly, I don't see how a week without a liquor licence is going to sink the place. If they are that close to going under, I don't think a week without booze sales is going to save them in the long run. On the other hand, they are an inexpensive restaurant that might have a better niche in the Great Depression II.

But if not, I can't get too worked up about this restaurant closing when 70,000 people lost their jobs THIS WEEK ALONE in the U.S.

I know people are fond of the place, though. And I hope it survives. In solidarity with those friends of mine who are friends of Azteca, I will head down there Saturday night if my iffy plans go south. Azteca is unique and it deserves a reprieve.
