A familiar face in Tampa’s hospitality scene is opening his own pop-up.
Curt Hensley—formerly half of Una Más—launches Coquito Burritos this weekend at Ash, where he’ll serve coffee, breakfast, burritos, vegan bowls, and pastries.
Hensley named the venture after a nickname his Cuban grandfather gave him (referring to native coquí frogs, not the Puerto Rican drink).
Hensley announced the pop-up last month, as well as his departure from Una Más.
He and Paola Chamorro were slated to open a West Tampa coffee shop before the summer of 2024, but ran into permitting issues. The shop moved to Magnanimous Brewing’s Seminole Heights taproom over the summer for weekend pop-ups.
“My time with Una Más has been one of the most rewarding and also most challenging chapters of my life, and I wouldn’t trade it for anything,” Hensley wrote on social media, announcing Coquito Burritos.
“As Una Más continues its journey, I’m excited to share that I will be starting my own venture here in Tampa at another local spot. I’d love for you to follow along with me, and I can’t wait to keep seeing and serving you!”
Coquito Burritos premieres Friday-Saturday, Oct. 10-11 from 8 a.m.- 1 p.m. at Ash in Tampa’s Water Street neighborhood. For updates and more information, follow @burritos_coquito on Instagram.
