Terlingua has leased the 858 sq ft storefront at 34 Washington Ave where they’ll be launching Terlingua Outpost (instagram). The Outpost will be an all-day 12-seat cafe with grab-and-go food to takeaway as well as the new home for the restaurant’s market. The Outpost team, led by general manager Justine Smith, hope to launch the new venture in early summer.
The menu will include sweet & savory kolaches, “pocket-ritos”, ice cream, espresso drinks, coffee & tea, as well as iced and hot NA drinks like an adaptogen latte made with chaga, and a mojito-cino made with mint, brown sugar and half-and-half. For customers dining at cafe there will also be a beer, wine and spirits selection. The market will continue to offer prepared food and staples like enchiladas, Terlingua’s cornbread, chili, soup and house made sauces and spice blends. They are aiming to be open daily, 8 am – 8 pm.
The launch of The Outpost will enable Terlingua to reformat the current market space at 40 Washington Ave as a side dining room for restaurant guests and for use for private dinners or events.
Terlingua initially launched in 2015 at 52 Washington Ave (where Lil Chippy is today). They moved to their current spot in 2020 and launch Ocotillo in the West End last year.
