Little Mexico has new owners and a new name
By Monty Siekerman
Bill and Beth Ann Bass have purchased Little Mexico from Cheryl Dye, who has owned the restaurant for 11 years. The business will be named Tavern 101 with much the same menu as preciously. Mexican and American food will continue to be offered.
Located at 101 S. Main, the business will continue its regular hours: Monday through Friday from 6 a.m. until 1 a.m. and Saturday from 7 a.m. until 1 a.m. The phone number is 419-634-6898.
Karaoke will be held Wednesdays and Fridays beginning at 9 p.m.
Bill and Beth Ann are well known in the community, having grown up here and are owners of William Bass Trucking, with a fleet of 10 semis. The trucking company is located west of Ada on SR 81.
Many local residents know the location because the Lions Club sells mulch there each spring. They also help with concessions during F and M Picnic and at local high school football games.
Beth Ann said there will be daily lunch specials, which can be found on Tavern 101 Facebook page.
Some items new to the menu will be pulled pork, grilled chicken sandwich, and smoked turkey mixed green salad.
Some renovation will be undertaken this summer which will add seating.
Employees will remain the same.
