The Root's Jack Sundell, who with his wife, Corri, are opening Dos Rocas Beer & Tacos at 1220 Main St., Little Rock, three blocks from The Root in a space that was once Juanita's Party Room, has applied for a mixed drink-minimum permit, which will allow them to serve, among other things, margaritas and local craft beers.
Their partners in the enterprise include Paraguay native Cesar Bordon-Avalos, who has been The Root's lunch kitchen manager since 2012; native Honduran Luis Vasquez, currently the breakfast chef at The Root, will manage the kitchen.
The pan-Latin American menu will include street food (tacos, empanadas, pupusas) made with "fresh, locally farmed ingredients." We're still trying to track down a target opening date. The website (dosrocasbeerandtacos.com) which lists hours and phone number as TBD; there's also a Facebook page, facebook.com/dosrocasbeerandtacos.
