When we set out to re-fresh the menus, we made sure the street-food roots of the Burrito received its proper dues. Instead of just sticking to ready-made recipes, we also created a menu option encouraging hungry Burrito buffs to make their own, personal Fresh Burrito. To add some layers and spice to the graphic concept, we turned to indigenous Mexican mural art and the colorful, hand-painted typography that’s so typical to the local Mexican shops, bars and restaurants.

The entire interior is a mixture of reclaimed, authentic materials & textures (e.g. used wooden slats for the ceiling design) and new elements to guarantee freshness. To give the space a more ‘al fresco living’ vibe, we added string lights above the dining tables.

Aside from applying perfectly imperfect hand-painted typography to the restaurant walls, we also developed two special types of wallpaper incorporating abstract Mexican skulls. We took our main inspiration from the typically Mexican, very colorful ‘Dia de Los Muertos’ (“Day of the Dead”) festival.
