WHAT THE HELL IS A CHEESE CRISP?
It's an Arizona thing. We take a flour tortilla, cover it with melted cheese and roasted green chile, then sear it on the comal until it's crispy, cheesy perfection.
Crunchy. Gooey. Spicy. Salty.
WHAT ARE YOU HUNGRY FOR?
We're inspired by the flavors of the Southwest and rooted right here in Charlotte.
De La Vega tortillas. Fresh salsas. Made-to-order guacamole. Everything cooked with purpose.
No shortcuts. No nonsense. Just really good food.

Great Mexican tacos. Tried the ground beef, carnitas and carne asada tacos. All were excellent. Even spoke with Chef Nelson about their locally sourced, high quality ingredients. Will definitely be back and eat again!
