From Food Truck to Full Restaurant

Taqueria Monterrey started as a humble food truck, serving authentic Monterrey cuisine to a growing fan base. As they prepared to transition into a full-service restaurant, they realized their existing brand was holding them back. Their logo was a simple, DIY design, and their overall brand identity lacked cohesion. They needed a professional, polished brandthat reflected their cultural roots while positioning them for long-term success.
