The Asado Bowl: A Taste of St. Augustine

Looking for a bowl that brings together fresh ingredients, bold flavor, and live-fire cooking? Meet the Asado Bowl.

This bowl features jasmine rice topped with datil pepper black beans and bright heirloom tomato salsa criolla. The combination balances savory, fresh, and just the right amount of heat.

To finish, we add crumbled cotija, a crisp white corn tortilla, and fresh micro cilantro.

Datil Pepper Black Beans: A Taste of St. Augustine

Our datil pepper black beans bring a little bit of St. Augustine to every bite. Unique to St. Augustine and Minorca, datil peppers are small, hot peppers prized for their fruity, sweet-and-spicy flavor, similar to habaneros. With deep roots in the region’s culinary history, they have become a celebrated symbol of St. Augustine’s cultural heritage. Paired with hearty black beans in our Asado Bowl, datil peppers add a subtle kick and rich depth without overpowering the other ingredients.

Bright and Fresh Salsa Criolla

Our in-house heirloom tomato salsa criolla brings a bright, fresh contrast to the heartier flavors in the bowl. Made with juicy heirloom tomatoes, it adds acidity and freshness that complements the smoky flavors of the beans and grilled add-ons. The result is a colorful, balanced topping that adds freshness to every bite.
