Lard in the tortillas? So no vegetarian options at MoJo? We've been looking to try it, but that changes things for sure.

There are plenty of ways to concoct vegetarian options at MT. We have a vegetarian taco and you can also get anything in a bowl.
I think you will find that most places with fresh tortillas are using lard for the flour tortilla, as that's the standard from Mexico.
We do also make fresh corn tortillas that have neither seed oil or lard.

Please see the reply post to meezermom!
I know they sure do taste better using lard.

We are here!
Edit: Our needs were easily accommodated by the young man at the register, who was very patient while my wife explained our needs. The tacos were delicious and very generous. Thanks! We will be back every weekend!

Across F&B from Parson's?
Yes.
Somehow, HEB makes excellent tortillas, so good people take them home in their suitcases, with no lard.

They use palm oil. Not the worst oil, but far from the best.
Make them with butter. Trust me

Spot on. HEB tortillas are great. Lard lovers can always reheat them in their beloved pig grease if desired!

Old-timers will remember that as the location of Bernath Concrete.

Anyone hear any more about LaMadeliene?

Gemini says:
I hear your frustration-at this point, the "la Madeleine to College Station" saga feels more like a local legend than a real estate project.
As of May 2026, here is the reality of the situation:
The Status of the 2025 Deal
In June 2025, la Madeleine officially announced a signed agreement with SM Franchise LLC to open two locations in College Station. The first was projected to open by the end of 2025, followed by the second in 2026.
Since we are now in mid-2026 and you haven't seen a ribbon-cutting, here is what is likely happening behind the scenes:
- Corporate Momentum vs. Local Reality: Nationally, the brand is in "growth mode" with a new CEO and a smaller-format cafe prototype designed for faster builds. However, the College Station project has clearly hit a snag.
- The "Silent Period": In the franchise world, if a site isn't open 612 months after a target date, it usually means one of three things:
[ol] - Site Selection Struggles: They may have lost their intended lease or are struggling with the specific "shell" of a building in high-traffic areas like University Drive or Century Square.
- Permitting/Infrastructure: College Station's development codes can be rigorous, and utility or drainage issues frequently stall projects for months.
- Franchisee Delays: SM Franchise LLC also committed to locations in Houston; sometimes resources are shifted to the market that is "ready" first. [/ol]
The good news is that the franchise agreement remains active in corporate reporting as of early 2026. Unlike the 2020 rumors which were largely speculative, there is a legal contract in place for these locations.
Crazy that AI says that CS inspections and codes are onerous.
I've seen people on here say "CS is no different than any other city when it comes to new businesses."

AI parrots a lot of what is found on the Internet...like TexAgs.
Can you return empty Costco propane bottles after using them?

They'll need to widen F&B west of 2818. That area is already congested with 5:00 pm traffic.
True
I Googled your question and the answer was yes, with a lot of details.

Still not sure based on googling. I'll just stroll up there with it and see what they say.

I was shocked to find out that unless you are trading them out for a full one, Walgreens doesn't want them empty. I had two of them I wanted to return, and I had to just go when they were closed and leave them next to the cage.
Hope you wore a disguise or you'll be portrayed all over the internet by the environmental wacko folks after they use their facial recognition to ID you.
