There's a reason why Paul Backer and Michael Knox have leased space in a Minnetonka strip mall for their new restaurant, Toma Mojo Grill (12977 Ridgedale Dr.).
"We see a decent-sized void of independent restaurants in Minnetonka and Plymouth," said Backer. "There's a path to having a dedicated community following outside of Minneapolis."
The restaurant will celebrate Spanish and Portuguese culinary traditions, funneling roast chicken and roast pork (and vegan sausages) into sandwiches, plates and family-style platters and pairing them with sauces and side dishes.
