At the new location of Taco Heads, you’ll find a big neon sign that reads: “Another day, another taco.” That’s pretty much the creed lived by Taco Heads founder Sarah Castillo, who has practically spent the last 11 years of her life dealing with tacos, in some fashion or another.
Those who’ve closely followed Castillo’s career will fondly recall her first taco truck, parked outside a nightclub in the West Seventh area — the first step she took toward building the business of eateries she owns and oversees now: two Taco Heads locations, a classy Mexican restaurant called Tinie’s, and a female-forward bar and small plates spot called Sidesaddle Saloon.
To celebrate the arrival of the newest Taco Heads restaurant, located in an old office building in the Fort Worth Stockyards that’s been stylishly revamped by local architecture and interior design firm 97w, we chatted with the restaurateur about her past and future and, of course, tacos.
