01TEOTE master brand mark: a mandala of flames, petals, and a lotus center

TEOTE Restaurant Group

Brand, hospitality, sacred space

2011-2024

Started as Fuego de Lotus, a Venezuelan street food cart built inside a gutted Silver Streak travel trailer. Grew into TEOTE Restaurant Group: four locations built from scratch, each an intentional space of metalwork, reclaimed wood, and sacred art, with the #1 mezcal program in the United States. One of Portland's most beloved restaurant brands for over a decade. Every piece of it, from the logo to the buildings themselves, was designed and built in-house.

Portland institution. Four locations. #1 mezcal seller in the US.
