• Tex-Mex • Myers Park

Chef Ford Fry and Chef Kevin Maxey, together designed a “Mex-Tex” menu that plays to their own Texan roots, tracing the beginnings of the cuisine to the 1930s, when Mexican cooks first doctored up their dishes to suit a “Gringo” palate with Americanized elements, giving birth to the Tex-Mex dialogue. “Kevin and I wanted to do food we like to eat,” Fry said. “It’s natural for a chef to want to be true to a certain culture, and likewise, we wanted to do authentic Tex-Mex, because it developed where we’re from.

First time here and it was a great experience. We came for lunch on Valentine’s Day and it wasn’t too busy. The food was delicious! I got the salmon and my date had the chicken skewers. Both were delicious! The atmosphere was nice with dim lighting so it provided a kind of romantic setting which is wonderful for a date. I highly recommend!
