   That's how Pat Stehling, a manager and the site developer for Mama Margie's, describes the new restaurant that is under construction in Northwest San Antonio.
   
   The second Mama Margie's is set to open in mid-December; the restaurant will occupy an old Shoney's site at 9950 Interstate 10 West, just off I-10 and Wurzbach Road on the Northwest Side.
   
   The original Mama Margie's is located at 2503 Southwest Military Drive, by South Park Mall.
   
   The proprietor is Margie Abonce, whom Stehling describes as a "very motherly figure and beautiful lady."
   ...
   The new Mama Margie's will be considerably larger than the original restaurant - 6,200 square feet compared to 3,800 square feet, Stehling says. Like the original, the new restaurant will include an open-air patio. But while the Mama Margie's on S.W. Military only has one drive-through lane, the I-10 location will have two, Stehling adds.
   
   What will not change is the Tex-Mex food that Mama Margie's patrons already enjoy - including the restaurant's famous garlicky beans.
   
   Turning the old Shoney's into the new Mama Margie's has required some extensive work, says Stehling, adding that all that was kept intact was the shell of the building. The inside was completely redone.
   
   "Everybody in the food business is so specialized," explains Stehling, meaning that it has taken a lot to add the Mama Margie's touches to the old Shoney's space. For example, Mama Margie's has a much more open kitchen design than Shoney's did.
   
   "We show the fajitas grilling, the bakery, we like to display the fresh foods we serve," Stehling says.
   
   Stehling adds that the business had been looking for a second site for about two years - with that search being focused primarily on the city's Northwest Side.
