Chefs Dudley and Romero believe in incorporating nutrient dense and plant-based ingredients into Farm Tacos – To Go, along with supporting and sourcing from local farmers market fresh seasonal fruits, vegetables, and meats. According to the culinary team, "Eating authentic tasty tacos is just as important as learning and respecting the ingredients and their nutritional value and significance to our health, environment and culture. Our contribution to the earth is to have the ingredients be our “Maestra,” teacher, from whom we are able to learn and give back to the earth by learning ingredients, farming practices, cooking methods, and preserving culture while eating healthier."
On the menu customers will find tacos with: verdolagas (purslane), nopales (cactus), huitlacoche (corn fungus mushroom), butternut squash, chiles, spices along with beets, coliflor (cauliflower) , kale, carrots, cherry tomatoes, and micro-greens that are not only tasty but high in protein, fiber, vitamins, antioxidants, and minerals.
