New month, new specials 🌮
🤠 The Carne Guisada is slow-braised chuck roll with roasted red bell pepper, poblano, tomato, onion, Jack cheese, and avocado. The kind of taco that makes you cancel your plans and order another one.
🌱 And if you’re going veggie, don’t sleep on the Veggie Taco — Swiss chard, sweet potato, corn, pepitas, and a smoky guajillo salsa that ties it all together. Taco or burrito. Either way, come hungry.
