Cafe con Chocolate is reopening

When a restaurant closes "temporarily," the likelihood of it ever reopening is about as slim as a cocktail straw. So good for Yoshi Yamasaki for making good on her promise to get her cheery Mexican coffee shop, Cafe con Chocolate (2100 S. Norwood St.), back in business after shutting down last month to take care of her ailing mama, among other reasons. Missers of CcC's molletes, nachos and Oaxacan cocoa will be able to get their fill starting on May 5, when the cafe reopens at 10 in the morning. Yamasaki is running a special Cinco de Mayo menu (we'll have that for you soon) and there will be live mariachi music from 3 to 6 p.m. Welcome back, guys!

UPDATE [26apr12]: Added Cinco de Mayo menu (PDF).

I prayed to jewish god that this place would open back up. I've always been partial to the Huevos Motuleños Especiales. So dope.
