Seems that since Revolucion mainly catered to tourists, it was just a matter of time. Sad. But understandable. Just have to wonder if the old days will ever return. TJ, and Revolucion in particular, were icons in the Southern California culture.

Interesting. The anchovy component in the original came from the worcestershire sauce. Nowadays most high end places make the salad using actual anchovies or anchovy paste.

I have the original recipe that was given to me by them in 1956. The table side building sequence is:
1. rub inside of wooden bowl with chopped garli clove
2. mash 2 - 3 whole anchovies in bottom with juice of 1/2 lemon
3. add a few good shakes of worchestershire, a little mustard and a few shakes of tabasco (secret ingrediant)
4. add whole egg and wisk while adding a little olive oil
5. tear and toss in 1 head of romaine to coat lightly
6. add parmesan cheese, toss again and then add croutons and serve:coolup::coolup::coolup:

Restaurant reputed to have invented Caesar salad, now closed

The Associated Press

TIJUANA, Mexico — Caesar’s is dead. The Tijuana restaurant that popularized the Caesar salad has closed, an apparent victim of a tourism-dependent economy devastated by crime, drug violence and swine flu.

The slump in visitors from the U.S. also appeared to have claimed Restaurant Moderno, linked to the invention of nachos, in the town of Piedras Negras, across the Rio Grande from Eagle Pass.

Legend has it that both dishes were whipped up in a hurry to satisfy hungry U.S. visitors. Now they aren’t coming, scared off by drug cartel turf battles that often occur in Mexico’s border regions and by the spring’s flu outbreak.

Employees at Caesar’s said Friday that it shut down Monday after decades of serving Caesar salads. The restaurant has ties to the Tijuana spot where the dish is believed to have been invented in the 1920s but had moved to a new location long ago.

"I showed up for work on Monday and I found all the furniture outside," said Miguel Angel Ventura Oros, who worked as a waiter at the restaurant the last three years. "The manager told us there was an eviction for not paying the rent."

Martha Gonzalez, an employee of the Smart Price drugstore next door to Caesar’s, said the drop in tourism appears to have done in the restaurant, which toward the end was also a bar.

"They tried everything to revive it, but the tourism declined," Gonzalez said.

An employee of Restaurant Moderno confirmed that it closed this summer.

A waiter at Moderno, Ignacio Anaya, was credited with inventing nachos. The name came from Anaya’s nickname, Nacho.

It was always assumed but, that's the first explaination I've seen for the restaurant's demise.
