Our Story
Austin, meet napa
Folks tend to think California and Texas are worlds apart, but we bring the best flavors from these bold states together to serve delicious and unexpected food that everyone can get excited about.
Shredded brisket, queso, and flour tortillas are just a few of the Tex-Mex-ish staples our menu is built on. Then we add our Best Coast faves—ingredients like farm fresh eggs, avocados, Fresno chiles, pomegranate, and pickled kumquat (often foraged from neighborhood trees)—to make tacos, salsas, and salads your taste buds will celebrate.
