🌵 NEW CARNITAS COWBOY TACOS 🌮

Last week, we introduced a new taco to our Cowboy Taco lineup—and they received rave reviews! 🤠

Our slow-braised, tender pork Carnitas are topped with house-made pickled red onions, avocado, and our signature fire-grilled Salsa Quemada, all served on our Cowboy Butter-based blue corn tortillas.

Our Blackened Alaskan Cod Tacos still reigned as the #1 seller for the night, but the Carnitas were a very close second!

Join us tonight starting at 4PM and enjoy one of our delicious Cowboy Taco offerings. And here’s an Insider’s Tip: Come before 6PM and enjoy Happy Hour prices on draft b**r and margaritas—a perfect Western combination. 🍺🍹

See you tonight, partners! 🤠
