Upscale Fast Casual

We started something years ago that we call the family meal, in the Catering Kitchen at our sister restaurant down the street, Sundried Tomato. This meal usually takes place in the late morning and the cuisine is almost always Mexican. Everything is put onto a butcher block table and whoever is around is always welcome. We started to notice that vendors and sales people alike would start to time their visits around this meal. The food is so good that we always say “Bueno Bueno” Welcome to our restaurant, Bueno Bueno Mexican Kitchen — we hope you enjoy the food as much as we do!
