Loli’s Streatery has roamed the streets of downtown Corpus Christi for a few years. Their unique Tex-Mex menu has gained popularity as one of the best food trucks according to an annual survey by The Bend Magazine. Most notably, the asada corn bowls have become a crowd favorite.
“A lot of the ingredients and a lot of the recipes are from our family members. We have a grandmother her name was Loli, well that was her nickname. So, that’s why we named the truck Loli’s Streatery. But she was always in the kitchen, she was always cooking, she was always baking and she was just so good at it,” Loli’s Streatery co-owner Sabrina Lozano said.
Lozano, along with her sister and co-owner Sarah Flores have dreamed of having a restaurant since they started serving out of their truck. On Tuesday, the Tax Increment Reinvestment Zone #3 committed $17,000 to help with the renovation of 601 N. Water St. It’s the location of their restaurant Streat Corner Kitchen by Loli’s.
“Mostly everything that we do is downtown. So, we just felt that our home was downtown,” Lozano said.
