The end of an era
The home of the Cesar Salad, the restaurant on Avenida Revolucion in the Hotel Cesar, was evicted by the TJ police this morning. They could no longer
pay the high rent. The police tossed their stuff onto the street.

At least the landlord didn't try to steal the business and the reputation that would have gone along with it. Hopefully they will relocate and be more
sucessful with a lower overhead.

I'm guessing they weren't paying rent.....if you were the landlord what would you do?
Dennis-maybe you should have eaten there more often....I'm going to suggest it's your fault

My Mom used to take me there back in the mid and late 40's, and to this day I crave that wonderful salad.
TJ sure is not the same as then.

Barry, so right. We were poor, so my mom would go to T.J. To buy meat (a half side of the cow) . And we would run wild in TJ while she was waiting
for the butchers to do their work, collecting the biggest firepower we could stuff down our O.P. shorts to roust the kids that had taken over our tree
house. BUT, our mom always treated us to a nice meal after, which she insisted, must start with their World Famous Ceasar (Cesar) Salad.

The last time we ate there, six weeks ago, there was no electricty. We've been there many times over the years and always enjoyed the salad prepared
at your table. We always sat outside to watch the goings-on on Revolution St. I for one, will miss the place.

I would imagine time has passed by ol' Ceaser's resaurant and the rent has become unbearable. The economy couldn't have helped.. All we can do is
guess.
Still seems a little harsh to be throwing the place out into the street. Maybe pack it up and put it in storage?
At any rate, I take full responsibility, of course.

That was a piñata. You were supposed to hit it with a stick to win a free salad. Don't tell me you gave it money....

So much for the preservation of historic landmarks. My first visit was 1970. At least I can still say I ate where it all began.

Multi-tasking?
The Piñata was a big attraction if I remember correctly. It had some advanced [for the day] electronics embedded within and when you gave it a good
whack with the stick, it would emit this loud "OUCH" kind of like those baby dolls would do, "MAMA", when thrown in the corner.
Boy, that got me into a Margarita mood. I miss those days.

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.
