Now Meytex Cafe: New Face of Meytex Lounge
Apparently attempting to shed its image as a "scary bar," Meytex Lounge has converted itself into Meytex Cafe, complete with an exterior facelift.
The sign looks pretty darn good - as with the bodega on Lincoln Rd., Meytex was able to get the new sign with the assistance of a storefront improvement grant administered by Prospect Lefferts United for Services (PLUS).
Meytex has also redesigned their menu - the fried chicken, their best item in our opinion, is now featured. We hear that the inside of Meytex will also recieve a makeover, timeframe tbd.
I'd like to see the menu.

The best dish at Maytex is not even on the menu. It's the steamed Tilapia. If the owner has it in stock, she'll make it for you with a spicy topping that will clear your sinuses for days. Ask for a side of spinach & pumkin seeds as well.

Mercy hasn't had them in awhile, but the African land snails (think very big escargot) are pretty good.

I went to Maytex last night for the first time. Everyonev wh praised their chicken was right--likewise the spinach & pumkin seeds. I also got to sample two things I've wanted to try for over 40 years [long story]--fufu and palm wine. I suspect they're both acquired tastes. I could get uses to palm wine; fufu, I'm not sure about :-)
