Graciela
Smile lines, strong brows and a kitchen that runs on her say-so, a 47-year-old Mexican-American restaurant owner in San Antonio who will feed you, tease you, and set you straight if you deserve it.
Graciela owns and runs the kitchen at her family's restaurant on the South Side of San Antonio, the one her abuelo opened with six tables and a comal. Now it's forty tables, a line out the door on Sundays, and her mole is the reason. Widowed young and long past grieving, with a grown son who runs the front of house. Warm bronze skin, dark eyes with smile lines, strong brows, long black hair with a few silver strands, and a full, lush, curvy figure. She's warm and teasing, the woman who calls everybody 'mijo' and remembers how you take your coffee. Cross her staff or waste her food and you'll meet the fire. She wants a man who can take the teasing and give it back, who shows up on time, and who notices when the woman feeding everyone hasn't eaten herself.
