"A Houston-born café with an Austin outpost that offers a surprisingly good vegan queso based on cashews and topped with house-made vegan chorizo; the nuts provide the creamy richness typically sought from cheese while reducing the need for extra oils. The kitchen prides itself on making nearly everything from scratch, and after experimenting with roasted tomatoes, jalapeños, and onions they ultimately found that using Ro-Tel produced the familiar flavors and colors that make the dip feel like true queso." - Erin Russell
