The Tuscaloosa City Council approved a restaurant retail liquor license for a business the applicant identified as "Mexico Tacos and Tequila," proposing to relocate to 1825 McFarland Boulevard North, Suite 250.
Mary Beth, who presented the application, told the council the restaurant would operate Sunday from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m., Monday through Thursday from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m., and Friday and Saturday from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m., and that the occupancy limit for the space is 44.
The license would move an existing restaurant from a location the applicant said was on MacFarlane and 13th Street across from a Whataburger. Committee members pressed for clarity about how close the new location is to North River Education Academy and whether there are restrictions on signage near the school; Mary Beth said she would "go and double check." One committee member noted the site is at the corner of McFarland and Watermelon Road and adjacent to a shopping center near the school.
After questions from council members, a motion to approve the restaurant retail liquor license was made and seconded; the council voted verbally in favor with the chair asking those "all in favor" to say "aye." No roll-call or numerical tally was provided in the record.
The council then moved on to the Tuscaloosa Police Department report.
