Born on
the Street
Marco Rivera grew up cooking alongside his grandmother in Oaxaca. Deja Okafor spent ten years as a line cook at some of Austin's most decorated restaurants. In 2017, they pooled everything they had into a beat-up 1974 Chevy step van and painted it electric orange.
CanvasRoam was never about playing it safe. It was about taking the best techniques from fine dining and making them accessible to everyone standing in a parking lot at noon. Birria tacos that require two-day braises. Smash burgers with dry-aged beef. Sides that could anchor any menu.
Seven years, two trucks, and over 200 festivals later, we're still chasing the same thing: the look on someone's face when they take that first bite.
