"Set on a five-acre site in South Austin, Leona is a shared space with a cafe, bar, and two counter-service restaurants—Dee Deefor Thai andVeracruzfor tacos. Both spots have long been home to some of our favorite versions of their respective cuisines, so these new openings are exciting. Leona also plans to open a burger spot that’s a collaboration from both teams." - Nicolai McCrary
