Ballston Spa · New York

Mexican soul,Italian heart.

Two great kitchens sharing one fire — house-made chorizo meets fresh pasta, brick-oven pizza meets street corn, on the street we're named after.

Our story

Two kitchens,one fire.

At number 42 on Front Street, in the heart of Ballston Spa, our chef folds the warmth of Mexico into the comfort of Italy — arancini made with chorizo, lasagna layered with oaxacan cheese, vongole kissed by Carta Blanca.

A caring, committed staff. A bar that takes its margaritas as seriously as its negronis. And a table that's waiting for you — in person, or packed carefully for home.
