Tacos on the Street moves HQ from Mexico to San Antonio
Fast-casual restaurant Tacos on the Street has moved its headquarters from Mexico to San Antonio and is opening its first U.S. location here next month.
Why it matters: Company leaders chose the city as the home base for a larger expansion into the U.S.
The latest: Tacos on the Street will open in August off U.S. 281 near Stone Oak, a growing area with plentiful dining options.
The company will share an exact opening date in the coming weeks, per a press release.
Flashback: Tacos on the Street began as a stand in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, in 1993.
Zoom in: The fast-casual spot is known for its carne asada. The signature street-style tacos feature two house salsas, a creamy avocado verde and a bright tomato cruda, with a fire-roasted chile de árbol salsa also available.
The tortillas are homemade and pressed daily, just as San Antonio expects.
The restaurant also offers margaritas, mezcalitas and ice cream from Van Leeuwen, the first time the brand will be available in San Antonio.
The interior design was led by Joel Mozersky, who worked on familiar San Antonio spots Pullman Market and Brasserie Mon Chou Chou at Pearl.
What they're saying:"San Antonio felt like the natural place to begin our growth in the U.S.," San Antonio-based marketing director Natalia Bustamante said in a statement.
