After 19 years of rolling burritos and dishing up nachos, the Mojo Burrito in St. Elmo will soon close its doors.
“I know we’re not alone in this, it’s not just us,” said owner Eve Williams, who said she struggled with the decision, and had fought to keep the restaurant open with carryout ordering and outdoor dining.
The Red Bank location of Mojo Burrito will remain open, making it the last remaining outpost of the local business that once had four. She still plans to move Mojo to a new location in Red Bank at 3512 Dayton Blvd., in the spot where a Shoney’s once stood, Williams said.
“I’m definitely going to throw a hail Mary at that and try to get the new store completed and move down the road,” she said. “It will be full service and quick service – the best of both worlds.”
