    What was the name of the place on Lamar and 10th area. Just north from the 7-11, across the street. It was an old house, italian place with byob. Thanks.

    Yes, I think that was the last place there. I was looking for the previous restaurant to that. I think it may have been Basil's?

    I think it is the same owners, but they were sued by the El Paso franchise and were forced to change their name. It is a big UTEP hang out. My one UTEP friend is always talking about it...

    I think we are talking about the same place... could be wrong.

    Drove by it yesterday. It's now "The Screaming Goat". On the sign under the name it says "tacos y cerveza", so it looks like same owners, new name.

    It is one of the two same owners. I was told by somebody there that one just did not want in on the restaurant biz any longer or he moved back, something like that. Same food and it is good.

    Get the flautas with salsa and cheese. Yum.
