Chefs’ Collaboration dinner
“The Block Just Got Better”
Thursday, December 3 | 6:30 PM
TWO Urban Licks, 22 years on the Eastside BeltLine, welcomes Amasa Mexican Kitchen to the neighborhood as Buena Vida becomes Amasa BeltLine in January 2027. Chef Alec Balunas of TWO and Chef Joey Vazquez of Amasa come together for a special five-course dinner featuring TWO’s wood-fired cooking and Amasa’s Baja-inspired seafood.
Buena Vida Is Becoming Amasa BeltLine
Coming January 2027, Buena Vida Tapas Bar will become Amasa Mexican Kitchen, bringing a new Baja-inspired dining experience to the Eastside BeltLine.
Guests can look forward to fresh ceviches and crudos, seafood-forward dishes, and tacos served on blue corn tortillas pressed by hand daily, all from a 100% gluten-free kitchen.
The same team, the same patio, and an exciting new chapter in Old Fourth Ward.
