Oscar Moreno is working on his American Dream. Moreno's first restaurant, Aroma's Italian Grill at 1452 Walton Way in the medical district, was doing so well that he and his wife, Lei, decided to open another restaurant. Augusta Eats: Aroma's Italian Grill owner says consistency key to success This one features a fusion of flavors from places where they love the food culture: Miami with its Cuban influences and Texas for Tex-Mex flavors. He recently opened that second local restaurant, El Tejano Latin Cuisine Express, at 826 Cabela Drive across from Costco. El Tejano in Spanish means 'the Texan,' Moreno said. "It's the Texas guy making Latin food." The two food cultures are similar, he said, so bringing them together wasn't difficult. The restaurant is simple and very inviting. Order at the counter and there's plenty of seating. The decor is colorful with a Spanish vibe. Upbeat Latin music plays in the background. Moreno said he hopes he'll be able to add outdoor seating in a grassy area in front of the restaurant. "We love making people happy. We treat them all like family, he said.
