What's missing is a Burrito Gallery Express in Riverside-Avondale.  That would be a money maker. Not sure why Tony and Paul have not made that happen yet...........................

That would be awesome.  Dealing with DT is such a hassle.  Bring the burritos to the people!

There are some nice looking vacant spaces in 5 points.

I agree,  I've been an advocate of a BG in Riverside for a long time now.  I was really hoping one would go into the Park/King Pharmacy locale.

The perfect spot is the tiny concrete block structure on Park between
Walgreens and European Street. It has no roof right now but would be awesome for walk up and take home BG.

Forget BG, let's get MOJO's up and running before we are discussion adding new places.

After visiting over 60 serious BBQ places in my lifetime, Mojo's is NOT one of the best BBQ places I have been to. Mojo has been expanding too fast that some of the quality has suffered in my opinion.

I have been to Mojo's 4 times. For those 3 out of 4 visits, the service and food were mediocre. The food was served lukewarm / cool when I ordered baby back ribs with mac & cheese, and green beans one time. I was disappointed that the hype that build up with Mojo collapsed upon their food along with my expectation.

As long as I have DerbyQ in five points, I am set for BBQ in Riverside.

And I agree with you Josh, I've had MOJOs a few times and I'm still not sure what all the hype is about.  The best thing about MOJOs is the Cheerwine.

I gotta agree with Josh here. Mojo is decent. But no substitute for Fred Cotten or even the bonos on Beach blvd. DerbyQ is doing a great job of filling my BBQ desires. Mojo has the "nice restaurant" thing going for it. But when I think BBQ, I don't think of a nice sit-down restaurant. I think dirty, dingy, smelling like smoke/frying oil/huge slabs of meat served up with a ton of BBQ sauce and the right sides.

Nice place to take your boss/date/someone from out of town for a slightly authentic southern bbq meal. But not even close to the real thing.

I must concur with the Mojo's comments. When we lived in Mandarin we drove to the location in Lakewood and loved it. Veggies and a brisket that was fork tender and yummy. Now we live in Argyle and have tried the location in Fleming Island several times and each visit has been extremely disappointing. Cold sides and over cooked, dry brisket seem to be the norm more than the exception.

I won't go into detail, yet (only a few whiskeys into it), but when rating food, you can't let service affect your decisions.
