The Menu

This fast-casual eatery centers around a build-your-own concept, where guests customize their meal by choosing a protein (chicken, beef, or pulled pork) and a style (classic for timeless flavor, alambre for bold grilled toppings, and birria for dipping). There is also a build-your-own salsa bar, which offers popular options such as Taqueria Verde, Jalapeño Ranch, Escabeche, and Cowboy Candy. Beverage options include margaritas, draft and canned beer, and a selection of non-alcoholic drinks.
