Pick your heat
before you order.
We roast every chili over real mesquite coals and taste-test each batch before it hits the line. Three house salsas, three very different rides. Here's exactly where they land on the Scoville scale, mildest to merciless.
No guesswork. Just honest fire, dialed in by hand.
From mild to merciless
Bright, mild, herbaceous
Smoky, balanced, medium
Searing, fruity, relentless
We do not own
a single freezer.
Before our early crews even unlock the door, our kitchen smells like roasted jalapeños, sweet citrus, and charred pork fat. Everything on our menu is built from actual earth-grown ingredients.
Double-Charred Pork
Slow-rendered for 7 hours in citrus, garlic, and lard, then finished on our blazing flat-top griddle for crispy charred edges.

I have ordered the El Chupacabra carnitas every single Tuesday since they opened. The crispy jack cheese layer is absolute black magic. Do not skip the pickled habaneros.

The salsa verde is spectacular. You can literally smell the tomatillos charring on the cast iron from blocks away. Excellent local joint with amazing hands-on owners.
