Last week, we presented the first between Mojo's on 86th and , and you voted with your hearts.

Here's what fans of Mojos on 86th had to say about the place they want to take their love this Valentine's Day.

• "I went to Mojo's on 86th with my girlfriend and WOW!!! Everyone was very helpful, friendly, and couldn't have asked for a better atmosphere to spend a romantic dinner with my someone special. It had a home like feel to it which made it very comfortable and enjoyable place to eat. The food, was amazing!! I have been to other upscale restaurants but the food was gross, people were not friendly, just not what you would expect. I didn't experience any of that hostility during my experience at Mojo's on 86th. I ordered the ribs which I usually eat everywhere I go. I got my plate and instantly, you could smell the fresh smoked meat, the best smelling BBQ sauce you have ever smelled, and my mouth was watering like the ocean because of the looks and smells. I grabbed my fork and slightly moved my ribs which instantly started falling off the bone. I knew then, that this was going to be the best ribs ever. Sure enough, my mouth didn't complain about the huge flavor that I was experiencing. Also, the General Manager, Mr. Bjorn Carlson was walking around making sure everything was up to the customers satisfaction which greatly impressed me. Overall, I give Mojo's on 86th a huge 5 out of 5. It was clean, friendly environment, food was amazing, price was definitely respectful for the quality of food and service. Only complaint I have is that there are not more places like Mojo's on 86th." - Erik Anderson
