Azaela City Restaurant Happenings

Two quick bits of restaurant news. South Mobile County wins one, loses one.

Hacienda San Miguel, long a staple of the Schillenger’s Rd. area is opening a new location in Theodore on Hwy. 90 just down from Jimmy Lowe’s. Hacienda is the brainchild of Armando Rodriguez, owner of the Tillman’s Corner hot spot Azteca’s and brings with it what Mexican food should be as opposed to the many other places in town that serve pre-cooked food that comes in one gallon cans. Hacienda features gorgeous architecture and an inspiring menu.

Also on the South side, Two Dollars Bill’s on Halls Mill Rd. at the location vacated by Cock of the Walk after Katrina is closing its doors in the next two weeks according to employees who were informed in a meeting this week. Bill’s struggled when it first opened but had been really coming on strong. An overpriced lease was declared the main culprit and to be honest the location is worth a lot of money but is better suited for industrial business rather than a restaurant. Good luck to the folks at Bill’s in their future endeavors.
