Big news for the Heights!
A new restaurant is opening up, and we think you foodies are going to like this one! Yellow Rocket Concepts, the same guys who brought you ZaZa’s, Big Orange and Local Lime are bringing another restaurant to the capital city: Heights Taco & Tamale Company.
It will be located at 5805 Kavanaugh Blvd., the current site of Browning’s Mexican Grill. You can look for the restaurant to open some time in the late summer or early fall.
In addition to a full bar, HT&T’s menu will offer authentic Mexican and Spanish dishes with Texas flair. House-made tamales, burritos, nachos and churros are just some of what Yellow Rock Concepts Executive Chef Scott McGehee has planned for the restaurant.
“Working with tamales in our test kitchen last fall inspired me to revisit the recipes my father created during his days as co-owner and co-creator of Blue Mesa Grill and Juanita’s,” McGehee said in a news release.
HT&T will have flour tortillas made on-site, original recipe desserts, including soft-serve ice cream, and salsas.
Back to the bar, there will be a full offering of original margaritas from Yellow Rock Concepts Director of Beverage, Lee Edwards. On top of that, you will be able enjoy local craft beers on draft, or by the bottle, in addition to house-made sodas.
The restaurant will also have a limited menu for drive-thru at the HT&T “Rapido” window. More to come at a later date on that.
Browning’s announced Tuesday it would remain open through June before closing its doors. For more on the story, check out Arkansas Business.
