The signature

What's a Keka?

Part taco, part quesadilla, all Chula. We press a corn tortilla by hand, griddle it on the comal, fold it around melted cheese and the meat of your choice, then load it with onion, cilantro, salsa, and avocado. Asada or al pastor is where most people start.

"The Keka is not a taco. It is a declaration of war against hunger, against mediocrity."

No shortcuts. Real charcoal, a real trompo, tortillas pressed to order.

Adobada al Trompo

Marinated pork stacked on the spit and shaved to order, caramelized on the edges the way it should be.

Grilled over real charcoal for that smoke you can taste, chopped fresh and never sitting around.
