Mojito Restaurant Expanding to New Beginnings
By Joel R. Odegard
If you have had the pleasure of eating at Mojito Latin American and Cuban restaurant in the Maple Leaf neighborhood of Seattle, then you know that the experience goes far beyond the food and atmosphere.
The owner of Mojito, Luam Werson, started working at the restaurant from its very beginning in 2001, initially as a dishwasher, and even helped with the construction of the original location located just off Lake City Way.
As the years went by, Werson, who is originally from Ethiopia, learned about Latin American cuisine through his travels to South America, and then with the help of his coworkers. In 2010, he became a partial owner of the restaurant and assumed full ownership in 2017.
