Business Owner

Fred was inspired by his grandmas recipes, legacy, and love. He wants to share that with a new generation of people. "If we don't keep cooking the food of our ancestors no one will. If we want our children and  grandchildren to know what real tex-mex food is we must keep creating it, sharing it and serving it, and letting it evolve. We must be proud of our food and culture."
