Andomiro, 12036 Ocean Highway (Pawleys Island): May 2026 4 comments
This Litchfield building was put up as a Sam's Corner, which was doing a lot of expansion back in the teens. I don't know if they were franchaising the concept or what, but I believe they are now back down to the original Garden City location. Be that as it may this spot went through a number of other concepts fairly quickly over the years with Andomiro being the latest. The concept was interesting, an Asian/Jamacian fusion menu, but probably not for me, and I never did stop in.
The end seems to have come rather suddenly, not long before I took these pictures on 25 May, with the fully equipped site up for sale.
I will mention the the adjacent ice-cream shop is very good.
Tati's Island Cusine, 2540 Decker Boulevard: (?) Never Opened 7 comments
Tati's, headquartered on Broad River Road, were in the process of rehabilitating the old Dentsville Rush's location, but operations seem to have stalled out. I have not seen any progress on the work there over the last several months, and I have not seen the Tati's food truck parked in the parking lot lately either.
Mobay 2 Bar & Caribbean Grill, 7457 Patterson Road Suite 101: Fall 2019 (Temporary) no comments
This storefront on Patterson off of Garners Ferry has been a number of things over the years, including Peppers House Of Pizza, Ye Old Fashioned Ice Cream & Sandwich Shop, Anthony's Old Fashioned Burger & Fry Co, and possibly Ma's House of Pizza.
Mobay 2 seems to be getting some good Yelp reviews, but is currently closed for renovations. Hopefully they will come back soon.
El Menchaca / Caribbean Island Restaurant, 3024 Two Notch Road: June 16 2008 29 comments
It seems to me that a number of Jamacian or Caribbean restaurants have come and gone in the past few years. I'm somewhat curious about the cusine since my impression is that it is spicy, but since the only specific dish I hear of often is "Jerk Chicken", and I don't eat chicken, I've never gotten around to trying one. I believe before this restaurant, the building housed El Menchaca Mexican Restaurant for many years. I'm not sure what happened here to make the building unsafe. The windows are too grimy to see much inside, so I'm not sure if it was a fire or what.
UPDATE 21 July 2011: Finally got around to adding El Menchaca and full street address to the post title!
