The Loro Heights menu will balance Southeast Asian flavors with the rich texture of traditional Texas BBQ that has become the hallmark of the concept. The opening of Loro Heights advances an exciting period for the concept and its creators, as they continue to expand the brand footprint with a fourth location in Addison, Texas slated later this year and plans for additional markets in 2022.

"We cannot wait to get the doors open on this new Loro location in the Heights,” said founder Tyson Cole in a statement. “We were able to repurpose this incredible church structure with a truly welcoming community feel and now we are ready to start slicing brisket and serving slushees.”
