Grand Opening Week! 🍹From the team behind comes a new captivating culinary experience, Otomi Comida y Cocteles. Otomi is a collaboration between Irregardless cafe owner Lee Robinson and former Executive Chef Juan Carlos Lugo. 🍽️

“The idea for Otomi came from family meals at Irregardless,” Robinson said. “Whenever Juan cooked for his work family, he’d cook the food that his mom had cooked back home. Some of our favorite food to come out of that kitchen was the food he made for us. It seemed selfish to keep it to ourselves, so we decided to share it with the community.”

The menu features comfort food and staple Mexican Cuisine like tacos, 🌮 burritos 🌯 and quesadillas including vegan options. 🌽

Otomi Comida y Cocteles is set to open with a grand opening event Friday, July 19, 5p-9:30p with live music from 6-8p. 🎶
