‘Ole!’, says downtown Clawson, to new Mojave Cantina
A new Mexican restaurant is opening in downtown Clawson. Mojave Cantina is in the midst of a soft opening, testing its menu of traditional burritos, tacos, quesadillas and its own twist on those Mexican staples, as well as specialties such as a Mojave salad and bacon and tomato guacamole. Margaritas and sangria are on the menu too. It's located at 48 W. 14 Mile and is one of several new businesses that have opened or plan to open in the downtown, which is also taking on changes that will make it more walkable and bicycle friendly. The owners, who renovated the space, are continuing to hire staff, host private events and open the doors for limited hours. Hours will go to full-time within two weeks, says Joan Horton, executive director of the Clawson Downtown Development Authority. Judging by Mojave Cantina's Facebook posts, locals are ready to pull up a chair. The restaurant can seat up to 140 people and will host live music acts and salsa dancing.
