New place at SouthPark

Into the former Morton's space at SouthPark will go San Antonio's Modern Mexican, from CentraArchy Restaurant Management, owners of Manzetti's (along with California Dreaming and New York Prime).

It's described as "an upscale fusion of Mexican, Tex-Mex, Southwestern and Classic American" and is slated to open in the spring. Menu examples include "Mama's Chicken," a double breast topped with chorizo and Monterey Jack; Amarillo BBQ glazed chicken nachos; red-chile seared salmon; jalapeno shrimp; rack of pork ribs; and more. Specialty margaritas, mojitos and a lineup of premium tequilas are planned, as well as a bar and patio menu, and "modest pricing."

That's great. I've always wondered why they didn't have any Mexican places in the SouthPark area. But I still miss Morton's at SouthPark, mainly because I like their food and don't want to go to the uptown Morton's where some crazy valet would steal my change and drive my car like he stole it.

Pretty much anything with the words "upscale" and "fusion" in the description will get the SouthPark faithful out.

I wish we had an "authentic" mexican restaurant in the SouthPark area too, though.
