Mrs Crosby's

During difficult economic times, Crosby paid a symbolic rent in the form of coffee or breakfast to her landlord, Jewish American merchant Max Stool.

[3][4] Crosby personally greeted her patrons, and her establishment became one of the most popular on the border, renowned for its cleanliness, air conditioning, and high-quality Mexican food and beverages.

The addition of an outdoor patio, a hotel, and a curiosity shop transformed Mrs. Crosby's into a comprehensive destination for travelers while also becoming a favored venue for locals celebrating special occasions.

[2] The establishment has traditionally catered to a diverse clientele that includes U.S. tourists, particularly those crossing over from Del Rio,[3][6] local Mexican workers, U.S. oilmen, ranchers, and U.S. military personnel stationed at a nearby airbase.

In the song, Strait humorously narrates a series of events during a visit to Mexico, mentioning an evening of excessive guitar music, tequila, salt, and lime, which ultimately led to a disrupted romantic encounter and a reflective aftermath.
