Menu looks good. I hope the keep the outdoor seating area that Dona Marias has.

What happened to Dona Marias anyway? They were pretty good for so long, then all of a sudden the place just drove off a cliff! The drinks started being watery, the food started sucking, they had one waiter on duty with bad service, etc. It's like someone actually tried to destroy a good thing.

Yes, OBrothers will have a ton of outdoor seating in front and in back as well.
Dona Marias just sucked, they were closed for a week or so by the health department and after that they were doomed.  From what I heard they were way behind on their rent as well.

Dona Marias was disgusting, the only good thing was $1 beers on Wednesdays, just wish I coulda brought my own cup.

We always sat outside, which was the best thing about the place, inside was Hot/Filthy/Stinky.

Ya, now that you mentioned it, it was only outdoor seating and the $2-for-2 margaritas that I liked. Everything else did suck. And towards the end, the margaritas got to be so weak it was comical. Hey, at least I can thank Dona Maria's for helping me get in my 8 glasses of water a day!

Have you guys been to the new Mexican place at town center? Cantina Laredo is the name. I know it's chain food, but believe it or not it's actually pretty good.

They should be opening up in the next week or so. I just put the logo up on the awning yesterday and they are about to wrap up the build out.   ;D
