Inspired by the countless taquerias that co-founder and McAllen, TX native Ana-Maria Jaramillo grew up with on both sides of the Texas-Mexico border, La Tejana offers a slice of the rich culinary traditions of the Rio Grande Valley in D.C. With house-made flour tortillas and simple, no-frills ingredients made from scratch with mucho amor and no corner cutting, La Tejana seeks to pay homage to the countless mom-and-pop taquerias across the state of Texas.

Chad Drummond, co-founder of Please Bring Chips, sits down with La Tejana founders, Gus May and Ana-Maria Jaramillo, to discuss the history and inspiration for bringing breakfast tacos to the District, in anticipation of their brick and mortar shop opening in Mount Pleasant summer 2022.
