Hello! My name is Burro. I love chef-inspired tacos, tequila drinks, good music (according to us), vegetarians, bourbon, graffiti, vegans, mood lighting, queso, AND YOU!! Our kitchen is 100% nut and GLUTEN-FREE, and we are 100% serious about that. For the "Liquid Diet" sort of crowd. Our bartenders are equally happy to whip you up a hand-crafted creation or a classic cocktail. If you just want a shot of tequila we're into that too. Okay, that's enough chit-chat. Let's eat.
