“O
ur first location
at River Park Square is the
result of a long-time passion
for Southwestern cuisine by
restaurateurs Jeff, Trevor
and Jayne Blackwell, owners
of Twigs Bistro and Martini
Bar. The goal was to fill a
niche and present the special
flavors of the Southwest by
serving only the freshest local
produce mixed with unique
regionally-sourced spices.”
Like I said, Tortilla Union
is branded as “Southwest-
ern” but I’d say they are
borderline Tex-Mex! The
“Union Guacamole” was
perfectly limey and fresh. I
also LOVED their “Tortilla
Soup.” It had all the right
components and flavors with
tons of shredded chicken to
make it heartier. I’d come
back just for their tortilla
soup and guacamole, but that
is only the beginning.
