Better Food. Lighter Footprint.
We believe good food should taste good, support our communities and respect the environment. We are always looking for practical ways to reduce waste and operate more responsibly.
JoCo Green Business Program (JCGBP)
The Johnson County Green Business Program has helped us strengthen our recycling, composting and waste-reduction practices through training, education and technical support.
Composting Food Waste
Food scraps do not belong in a landfill. We work with local composting partners, including Compost Collective KC, to turn food waste into nutrient-rich compost.
Recycling Glass & Plastics
We separate recyclable glass, plastic and paper whenever local services allow. Through Ripple Glass, used bottles and jars can become useful materials again.
Energy-Efficient LED Lighting
We use high-efficiency LED lighting throughout our taquerías. LEDs use less electricity, last longer and help reduce everyday energy waste.
More Sustainable Packaging
We prioritize compostable, plant-based and recyclable packaging whenever practical. As better options become available, we continue working to reduce unnecessary single-use materials.
Cooking Oil Recycling
Used cooking oil is collected for responsible recycling instead of being poured down the drain. It can be processed into useful products, including alternative fuels.
All-natural refrigerants
Select refrigeration equipment uses R290, a natural refrigerant with no ozone-depleting properties and a lower global-warming impact than many traditional refrigerants.
Energy Star efficient equipment
We choose ENERGY STAR® certified equipment when practical to reduce energy use without compromising food quality or kitchen performance.
Progress, One Step at a Time
Sustainability is an ongoing effort. We will keep learning, improving and finding better ways to serve good food with less waste.
