Dos Toros Taqueria, a New York City-based chain known for its Mission-style burritos, is bringing its first location outside of the city to Chicago.

The chain has applied for a liquor license for a location at 1 N. Dearborn St. in the Loop, according to Eater. Dos Toros operates similar to Chipotle, with an assembly line of taco and burrito ingredients that are made to order.

Dos Toros owners, brothers Leo and Oliver Kremer, told the Wall Street Journal last year that their expansion plans for the next year include opening new locations in Boston, Philadelphia, Houston and Washington, D.C. Leo, it should be noted, is the former bassist for Third Eye Blind. The brothers are Bay Area natives, with a taste for the burritos the area is known for that include rice and beans. In addition to burritos, the cain serves salad plates, quesadillas and tacos with corn tortillas.

The chain advertises a commitment to humanely-raised meat, composting its kitchen and food waste and sing BPA-free receipt paper.
