Azteca (Elvis Heaven) Needs Our Help!

Sohrshah · 01-27-2009, 04:57 PM

Locals Swank Stop and Home of the world's second largest shrine to the Coolest Cat of all time (Elvis!), Azteca Mexican Restaurant on Historic Main Street in Garden Grova, CA lost it's liquor license this last week - and got hit HARD.

Goonie, Lance and I were virtually the only people in the place last Saturday night.

So.... If you can, please come support one of the last truly friendly neighborhood places in OC. These people do a ton for the community and put on some of the most racously fun times to be had anywhere around.

We'll be there this Saturday night, 1/31 following our gaming adventure. I'll post what time I think Lance and I will show up as soon as I know...don't fret, they are always there till 2 AM!

Thanks.

Did it just get temporarily suspended?

Yes, just for one week, but that was enough to really hit them hard. As any who've been there know, their business is the Crooner's Crowd.

Why'd they lose their license? (will they get it back or was it revoked?)

I don't live down that area - but my husband works over there. I'll have to tell him to try it for lunch.

Please folks. Don't let this wonderful place go out of business before I have the chance to see it. Don't make me beg!!!!

I've been there. Good home-style Mexican food combined with a somewhat bizarre Elvis shrine. I agree, please support the place!

I don't know if I'm reading things right but looking at their record at ABC it appears that the issue may not be disciplinary.

Apparently they initiated a license transfer last year and have been functioning under temporary licenses. I wonder if the problem was in that process.

So I say go ahead and eat without worrying that they were busted for serving 4-year-olds.

Well, whatever it was, it cost them a week worth of liquor sales, which is rough when you consider how much of their take is probably margaritas.

Yeah; ain't gonna get any support from me. Susan got second degree burns from this place. I was never really impressed with the food.
