The M Crowd Restaurant Group announces the appointment of CEO Greg Good, a 16-year restaurant icon……Restaurant icon? I have been in the business over 20 years and have never heard of this guy, and then he comes from Cheddars?

Wow! The Washburn brothers must really be watching their pennies. It’s no secret they were always at odds with Mico because he refused to compromise quality. How sad…

Mi Cocina without Mico it will never be the same. He will be opening in New York a restaurant with a powerful texmex menu. M Crowd without Mico sucks and all the people that was around him calling him Papi Mico, Daddy, etc. etc. such as his operations people are going down along with the M group.
Mico helped thousands and thousands of ilegals and those were able to have a descent life style because of the oportunities he gave them, now that he is out of the m group none of them remembers him, it is sad how people cares for money and never realy apreciate people for what they are, I am sure Mr. Rodriguez is doing great and finally found out who are his real friends, Mrs. Carolina Rodriguez, Bianca, Chris Perez, his Mama, his sister, and before all of them GOD. God has being with Mico and he will always be.

Not sure what the political flexing is all about, but the food and service in the Chophouse in Fort Worth sucks. I had the displeasure of being there today for the last time. Gone downhill quick since last summer.

My family and I have known Mico since he was a young man at Mia’s on Lemmon. Talk about integrity and makking lemmonade out of lemmons. HE made that company. You take the Mico out of M Crowd you are taking the life out of the company. Now it just becomes another chain. Another Macdonalds of Mexican Food. Need we be reminded that the Dallas res crowd is all about who you are, not what you serve. Sure… good food helps but it is all about THE MAN! Or woman to be equal.

Mico will have our business wherever he goes and whatever he does. Why? because it is all about the person!

P.S. Please don’t take the gypsy group of RP Valet with you! They can stay at Mi Cocina and keep wrecking cars there

of all these comments, only damon had a glimpse of reality. where on earth is the human side of business? Mico knows exactly where it is. He got to the soul of each and every employee he had. He has been a teacher, mentor, as sometimes father to most of his 700 +. I know that Mico will be just fine. He’s been tested many times, and has upraised successfully. He is truly an example of courage and determination that money is not the only ingredient behind a successful person. MiCocina will sure miss his spirit coming in everyday.

J Montenegro,

Just by you telling us where you eat(says alot about your taste pallate). Mico is my cousin, and there is so much truth to what was posted on here today (even a little of what you have posted), but you are taking the human element out of it completely. I wonder if you have ever poured your heart completely into something and lost it? What ever my cousin faces now, he lost something he successfully committed himself too. Mico is one of a kind and very creative. He has style that many admire. It is tragic for him to lose what his has worked so hard for. I see this as an opportunity for Mico to prove how strong he is whatever his trials are. I know he has the strenght within to pull up from this. He just has to want it and do what it takes to get it done. He has done it once, so the second time should be a snap.

Hopefully, Mico’s unfortunate departure (for him) from MCrowd and the recent poor publicity for Mi Cocina are omens for the begining of the end of the overpriced tex-mex concept. I’ll continue spending my money at places like Mexicali Cafe.
