Rand Packer — formerly of our local Roy's and Taylor Eason's pick for hottest Bay area chef — will be opening his own Mariposa Mexican Grill on July 1, wayyyyy up N Dale Mabry. I haven't seen the menu yet, but the chef promises "Pacific fresh Mexican", with homemade fresh tortillas, fresh fruit featured in popsicles and juice blends, and a whole lot Mexi-cuisine loaded with fresh herbs and dried chiles. Did I say fresh?
Mariposa Mexican Grill – 17623 N Dale Mabry Hwy., 813-264-1212
