I was at Moctec last Thursday to pick up some fresh masa, and spoke to one of Victor Vargas' sons. He confirmed what I had heard two weeks earlier from Joe Raffa, the chef at Oyamel: Victor Vargas, owner of Moctec, died on July 1, 2008. According to his son, he had been riding his bicycle without a helmet, and went off the road into a ditch, where he hit his head on some rocks. He lingered in a coma for three days before finally passing away on July 1. There was no obituary in the Post. His two sons intend to keep the business going.
Just FYI....Moctec's owner's last name is Vazquez not Vargas. He wil be missed! Thanks!
