The Menu

Cartelito
A bright build that brings the crunch: krispy fried chicken breast layered with lettuce and tomato, then finished with a silky citrus mayo that cuts through the richness with a clean, zesty lift. Fresh, balanced, and dangerously easy to devour.

T.K.O.
A full-volume, hands-on sandwich built to hit every note: krispy fried chicken breast crowned with chili oil for slow-building heat, artisanal Farm Boy pickles for a bright, briny snap, and sexy slaw for cool crunch, finished with a honey-dijon mayo that pulls it all together into one rich, addictive bite.
