A change in direction for "loco" Weihai Lu Mexi food restaurant Jalapeno. Long-time Shanghai restaurateur Ken Walker (Bubba's) is re-branding and reorienting the space into some more similar to his much-missed Texas BBQ joint, Bubba's. Jalapeno will serve its last tables on October 1, close for renovations, and then re-open as "BorderTown", a bar and restaurant serving "authentic border town offerings from Southern California to South Texas (and everything in between) along with craft beers and cool cocktails." The second floor space, erstwhile used for comedy shows is being re-purposed as a sports bar and events space. The Austin native is projected an opening date for BorderTown around October 15. Giddyup. Getcher artisinal-ish tacos in now. Couple days left for those.
