Just Tequila: Maybe That Works!


Spotted Wednesday on a photo road trip: this Barstow building once known as the Hacienda Tequila Restaurant. The food is gone. The staff is gone. The only thing left? “Tequila” And frankly, that feels like a solid business model for the Mojave.

Bright yellow stucco and fresh green trim suggest someone’s trying to bring it back—or at least make it look like they might. There’s no menu, no hours, no explanation. Just a sign, blazing in the desert sun, whispering: “Tequila”.

Is it coming soon? Is it performance art? More roadside mysteries, faded ambition, fast food and eroticism on my website at http://SecondFocus.com
