"Residents Upset At La Mariposa Customers"

It's been called the Mexican Hooters. It's a restaurant where the waitresses serve up a little dance with the food. And it's a good thing it's not in Diane Cibrian's council district.

From KSAT-12:

SAN ANTONIO -- Following a KSAT 12 News report about a new west side restaurant, some people are up in arms over what they said is more than just food.

La Mariposa, located at the intersection of Guadalupe and Trinity streets, is fast becoming known as a well-liked place to eat – namely for its provocatively dancing waitresses.

...

District 5 City Councilwoman Lourdes Galvan said she has received numerous complaints about the restaurant, but she said there was not much she can do if there’s nothing illegal happening in the restaurant.

"Unless we can find probable cause that is causing something illegal in there other than that, I don't believe we can do anything about it," she said.

La Mariposa means "the butterfly." I guess it's a good thing they didn't name the restaurant after some obscure island in the Caribbean.

This kind of makes me want to go check it out...! Curiosity kills the cat... or the Kels.

I just wonder if the food is any good!

Kels said...

Well, I wonder that, too... among other things...

Yea. The food.

Watching the story on the news, it's apparent that the reason "La Mariposa" is being singled out is because a bunch of jealous cows didn't like their men lookin at the "scenery".

its not just about as you like to put it the cows getting mad at their man for looking at other women ? its about why does any man need a provocative woman dancing to serve their food ? it first says that some women are so insecure about themselves skinny or big to have to dance their goodies in front of men to get money at a food resturant? ( thats what strip clubs were made for remember? ) and if someone made a chippendales mens resturant next to hooters i bet you would see the crime committed jealously rate go up 50% real quick when women come home and tell their insecure husbands and bf's that they go there for the fried pickles and the wings ( ha ha ) and you know its to watch those swinging a$$ in their shorts shorts > i bet some of those women have cow men at home too so it swings both ways after all !
