A Meal Ticket tipster informed us that today might be the last call for Paxia, the Mexican BYO that replaced Molcajete Mixto at Eighth and Christian. We called over to see if we could confirm.
"We're having a little issue with the owner of the restaurant and the owner of the building," said Xochitl chef/owner Dionicio Jimenez, who co-owns Paxia with his brother-in-law Ismael Torrez. "The lawyers are starting to figure it out. I hope nothing happens." Though there has been some speculation that February would be the restaurant's last month, he added that they would definitely be open for the rest of this week.
CP critic Trey Popp had nice things to say about Paxia's food back in August.

wow, really...are you sure you ate at Paxia? Everyone that works there is very nice, but the food is overpriced & kinda crappy. There's a reason no one is ever in there.
[...] restaurant space at Eighth and Christian, which was Molcajete Mixto (that closed), then Paxia (that closed), then Mezza Luna (that closed, shadily), looks like it’s coming back as a Mexican restaurant [...]
