Just caught up with Joey Milan, the brains behind Digg’s Tacos, a new South Austin-style taco joint going into the old Stromboli’s spot on Hillcrest across from SMU. Milan is a veteran Fort Worth restaurateur. He has operated Lucile’s Stateside Bistro in the Rivercrest Country Club area for18 years and The Stockyards Hotel and H3 Ranch Steakhouse for 12 years. Oh, and he’s a partner in Cousin’s BBQ in Fort Worth. (H/T BBQ Snob.)
“We are the same, simple guys who had a lot of success in 10 years back in Houston with Cabo “The Original Mix-Mex Grill” which we sold by 2001,” says Milan. “It is time for a really good taqueria. This is it.”
Digg’s is a new “brand inspired architecturally somewhat by South Congress in Austin, but different.” Most of the Digg’s concept is still in Milan’s head but the plans on paper call for a “quick-service food that is bold and very flavorful with uncomplicated and sincere service.”
