In Short
This small Mexican-Southwestern chain began in Austin, Texas, and has now expanded to 13 locations, including the newest Costa Mesa location. With bright colors and subtle Lone Star State motifs, this spot is a unique alternative to the standard Mexican eatery. The menu is chock-full of inventive dishes like jerk chicken pasta, roasted pork enchiladas and horseradish-crusted salmon.
