Mall Dining Is So Back At This Stunning Mexican Spot
Try and resist the urge to call your mom from a pay phone
Remember going to the mall? Like, just to hang out on a weekend because you knew if you stayed around your house too long your mom was going to make you clean something? You didn’t really need anything, but at worst it was an excuse to pick up a CD at Specs. And the highlight was always seeing what kind of ragtag meal you could put together between Sbarro, the Steak Escape, and Manchu Wok.
In most of the country, those mall-going glory days are gone. But lucky us, we still live in South Florida, where the mall experience is still going strong. What’s better, beyond food courts, malls now have legitimately good restaurants that don’t have locations in 47 states and the UAE. So you can cap off your afternoon of retail therapy with some brisket tacos, and maybe a margarita. Oddly specific? Maybe. But enjoy a lunch at Jacinta – the new spot from the Talavera/Bakan/Koko folks – and you’ll see exactly what I mean.
Is this going to make me think twice about automatica…
