Bam posted the menu, here's the rest of the letter with details that you've requested:
Hello Everyone,
I have reopened Taqueros at the same location on 1432 St. Charles Avenue. The menu is based in Botanas (small Mexican plates) also known as tapas, appetizers, bocas, bocadillos, etcetera. We will be serving tacos and the best of Taqueros' appetizers. Check out the menu below (which Bam provided)
The idea of botanas is to let the you tailor your menu to satisfy your appetite, no matter how large or small. We have a full service bar featuring our signature margaritas and home made sangria.
The service is very casual, fill-out an order slip, bring it to the bar
and we will call your name when ready. We are cash only. No checks or credit cards accepted.
My only point is this. However well or badly his business models have worked, the man can cook. The food, in the last three, I think, incarnations has been good. I see take out to take home for dinner from here. I'm going to try.

I'm very happy you reopened and can't wait to try your great food again. But when will you believe me when I say that the reason you haven't been there consistently is that you make your customers jump through hoops. No credit cards? Come on, Bill. Right there you've given a lot of potential customers--maybe most of them--a reason not to come. If you would just see things from our side of the table once in awhile and quit acting like you know better than we do what we like in a restaurant, and accommodate us, you'll be there forever. Which would be a wonderful thing, because nobody has your style.
Tastefully yours,
Tom Fitzmorris
Tom's not going for six months anyway, so by then "Bill" should take credit cards.
