Well, well, well, what do you know. Remember that nice little piece of hate mail I got about my post on Luisa’s in Geneva? I had thought from the beginning that it was a bit over the top, but there were some other things that concerned me about it. For someone that is just a patron they sure seemed to know a lot about the owner:
By the way, that blond, white lady cooking started her business by refurbishing an old camping trailor into a concession trailor and sold authentic Mexican food at the hispanic soccer games, Latin Festivals and now has her own restaurant.
Also too, it was somewhat odd that they didn’t seem to mind the terrible hours:
We never have a difficult time finding Luisa´s open. The hours are posted clearly on the front window. Maybe they are odd hours, but they suit Luisa`s schedule just fine.
What really struck me though is that the email was signed by Maria, yet the email address it came from was debico@alltel.net, so I did a little research. Guess what? The owner of Luisa’s name is Deborah Sistek. What a coincidence! I found that on her active Liquor Permit filed with the State of Ohio:
Deborah J Sistek
DBA Luisas Mexican Grill
41 N Broadway 1st Fl & Bsmt
Geneva, Ohio 44041
Don’t you just freakin love the Internet? I know I do.
So what I believe we have here is a restaurant owner who disliked my review, but didn’t have the gonads to use her real name to defend herself. How sad and pathetic. Deb, can I call you Deb? Instead of spending an hour to write an email smearing me and this site, maybe you should invest some time in learning how to make good tasting Mexican food. I can give you directions to El Lobo if you’d like a lesson. And please, stop being so stingy with the chorizo, its my inner peace.

Detective Mark is on the job!!! I drove past Luisas yesterday around lunch time and guess what… It was CLOSED. I’d say, considering the (lack of) quality of the food, we really shouldn’t complain anymore about the terrible hours. This is the only review I have seen of Luisas and I still feel it’s most accurate.

I love that she kept saying “Luisa’s schedule” and Luisa this and Luisa that…when the person who owns it is really a white chick named DEBBY…how very All-American. hehe.
