Road Warriors

What he had was the future Emilio's Super Chef.

Rodriguez -- the son-in-law of Benny Armas, who owns the ever-popular Benny's,at 301 East Seventh Avenue -- plans to do a lot of takeout business from his Colfax location. "I'm setting it up like a Chipotle or a Baja Fresh," he said. "You know, because people like that now. They know that kind of business." And so he's going to be starting with no waitresses on the floor, just counter service where you order at one end of the rail and pick up your finished food on the other. "But if you want to sit down, you can sit down," he insisted. "I've got plenty of chairs. I'm going to make the dining room really comfortable."

The menu will be Mexican, with everything made fresh to order -- just like Rodriguez has been doing at Little Emilio's. He'll be offering delivery service from the start, and hopes to be able to expand into the empty space next door. "I'm moving up," he said. "Little by little, we're moving up. This is our first real place now. And it's not going to be the last."

I loved Pizzeria Mundowhen I reviewed it ("A World of Discovery," July 27), and I love John Pool's place at 1312 17th Street even more now that it has beer and wine (and a happy hour from 9 to 11 p.m.). So many people love Mona's, 2364 15th Street, that co-owner Garen Austin reports the popular spot is now serving dinner every day but Tuesday, which means the onetime breakfast bar is now a three-a-day operation.
