Casa Tequilas Mexican Grill burst onto the Fort Gratiot dining scene with a packed grand opening near Birchwood Mall last week. The new family-run restaurant, located in the former Red Lobster building, drew such a crowd that staff had to turn customers away. Owners Monse and Nicolas Leon moved from Tennessee to bring their Chicago-based brand of authentic Mexican cuisine to the Blue Water area. Everything from salsa to guacamole is made fresh in-house, and experienced chefs were brought in to train new staff.
