INDEPENDENCE — As
you walk down Main Street
in Independence, you may
walk right past a nonde-
script building near the cor-
ner of Monmouth Avenue
and Main.
A sandwich-board style
sign on the sidewalk and
neon “open” letters in the
window are all that mark
this hidden gem of a restau-
rant as the Golden Horse
Café.
Op e n e d i n Ma y, t h e
restaurant is not very fancy.
But that is because owner
Miguel Martinez, 64, has
turned his priority to the
kitchen and the food.
Everything on Martinez’s
menu is made from scratch,
to order, and includes choic-
es from chicken-fried steak
to traditional huevos
rancheros.
“No cheese,” Martinez
said. “You have to have it the
Mexican way. No cheese.”
His food is just like grand-
ma used to make, and that’s
Worth the time
What: Golden Horse
Café.
Where: 286 Main St.,
Independence.
When: Open 8 a.m. to
3 p.m.
Of note: The menu
includes both American
and Mexican dishes, and
some unique creations
such as carne asada on a
ciabatta bun. Tamales
may be ordered ahead
of time in bulk.
For more informa-
tion: 971-283-2915.
because many of his recipes
come from his grandmother,
who died about 10 years ago.
“Almost everything I make
is from her,” Martinez said.
“She’s a real good cook.”
The tablecloths adorning
the restaurant are hand em-
broidered, but just one is
from Martinez’s grandmoth-
er. He keeps her memory
alive in his cooking, too.
His mother also has been
a culinary influence. Mar-
tinez can almost hear her
when he makes Mexican hot
chocolate in a pot on the
stove with a whisk.
“My mom says if there’s
no foam, it’s not hot choco-
late,” he said.
The tamales — something
Martinez said he has a repu-
tation for — are moist, with
a perfect mix of mesa, meat
and sauce.
Other items on the menu
are more original, like carne
asada on a ciabatta roll.
Many of the items on the
menu may be ordered as
spicy — or not so spicy — as
a customer’s palate prefers,
but the carne asada is al-
ways spicy, Martinez said.
Op e n i n g t h e G o l d e n
Horse Café has always been
a dream, he said.
“I’ve been cooking all my
life,” he said. “Even though
I’m old, it’s OK. I’m going to
try.”
Starting in February, he
wants to host romantic
dinner hours on Fridays
and Saturdays from 5 to 10
p.m., complete with can-
dlelight and cloth napkins,
he said.
INDEPENDENCE — In December, the Independence Police
Department participated in a grant that focuses attention on
the arrest of motorists driving under the inluence of intoxi-
cants.
One motorist was arrested for DUII by a patrol oicer specii-
cally working under this grant. Five other motorists were arrest-
ed for DUII during regular patrol hours.
The department will continue participating in the DUII grant
during January by working random patrols in search of intoxi-
cated drivers.
“The Independence Police Department asks that if you plan to
consume alcohol, plan ahead and make arrangements in regards
to how you will get home safely,” Oicer David Oliveros said.
The department also will participate in a grant that focuses
on seatbelts, cellphone use and distracted driving.
