This restaurant build in downtown Tustin, California (Orange County)—in collaboration with Laidlaw Building & Development—was completed in 2018. Designed by world-renowned architect and building co-owner, Leason Pomeroy, this warm, inviting space sets the stage for an equally tantalizing menu inspired by Executive Chef, Gabbi Patrick's Yucatecan roots. The CHAAK project required many unique elements including state-of-the-art kitchen and commercial smoker + oven for roasting eclectic Mayan dishes and churning out fresh tortillas to the delight of diners who can view from the comfort of their tables all of the action in the kitchen. Probably the most noteworthy finish is the all-glass rooftop that can be opened to create an outdoor feel for patrons who continue to enjoy the cozy enclosed dining room for comida y coctels under the stars.
