A charming romantic comedy about culinary discovery and unlikely connection set against the backdrop of authentic Mexican cuisine and small-town charm.

An unlikely heir to a Mexican fast-food franchise goes 'cuisine' hunting for the next culinary big thing, and finds himself in a small, dusty New Mexican town where foodies come from all over to salivate over the culinary treats of a local, authentic, and feisty female chef.
