Food: Mexican wings and tacos with recipes from Central Mexico:

Name meaning: It’s a popular sentiment in Mexican culture that if someone enjoys their food, it makes their “mustache move.” Additionally, since mustaches can have very different appearances, owner Luis Gomez wanted Mr. Mustacheo to represent the various flavors and experiences they incorporate into their cooking.
Owners: Co-owners Luis Gomez and Rene Roque come from Central Mexico, hoping to bring authentic and creative recipes to West St. Paul.
“Mr. Mustacheo is here to be a part of the [West St. Paul] story, celebrating culture through food, creating local jobs, and offering a family-friendly space,” said Gomez. “I want everyone to take part in this and try out Mr. Mustacheo.”
