When Sarah Zubiate wanted to find a way to offer her family healthier, Latin-inspired foods that still paid homage to her Mexican-American heritage, she created a signature small-batch salsa based on her mom’s 60-year-old recipe. She expanded her lineup to feature plant-based, organic queso and crema and, since November 2019, has produced everything in-house at ZUBI Farms, a sustainable, certified-organic, zero-waste production facility and farm in Athens, Texas.
How to support: Purchase online or at a local Whole Foods, Central Market, and Costco.

Come for the impeccably crafted Latin-inspired food, stay for chef-owner Miriam Jimenez’ 6,000-watt smile and hospitality. She may be from the Dominican Republic, but she makes some killer Tex-Mex, too. (Her queso verde is one of the top quesos in the entire state of Texas, for rela.) It’s a great place to sip on a Spicy Pepinos cocktail (Tito’s vodka, fresh cucumber, citrus) while lounging on the patio and watching folks doing the same in Klyde Warren Park.

Back in 2012, George Esquivel co-founded one of Dallas’ most popular breweries by infusing classic craft brewing techniques with his Mexican-American heritage.

Even their website features a little bit of Spanglish, truly capturing the merging of cultures in everything they create.
How to support: Stop by the taproom for first come, first served seating or pick up beer to-go from various local retailers.

For the record, it’s Beto & Son. As in one son, not many. In fact, the father-son duo of Beto and Julian Rodarte has become so successful in their Trinity Groves partnership with famed restaurateur Phil Romano that their location has widely expanded, quite possibly solely due to their famous liquid nitrogen margaritas and smothered totchos (nachos made with homemade tater tots, queso blanco, bacon, pico de gallo, and chile de arbol).
