Paxia replaces Molcajete Mixto

Molcajete Mixto at Eighth and Christian Streets in Bella Vista has given way to Paxia, a similarly fresh, homespun Mexican BYO -- and its pedigree is most interesting. One of the owners is Dionicio Jimenez, chef/partner at Society Hill's Xochitl, who's helping his brother-in-law, Ismael Torrez, a native of Mexico City, who has worked at Beau Monde plus some stints at Xochitl. (I hear that Jimenez is firmly entrenched at Xochitl.)

It's open for dinner nightly except for Tuesdays, and brunch is served on weekends. Decor is the same. Figure on entrees at $15 to $25. Same phone: 215-413-0171, too.
