Euro-Tex Cuisine in the Heights: A Unique Fusion Experience

Blue Tuba

Vlado Kolenic, a former rocker, and Giga Leszayova, both hailing from the former Czechoslovakia, have brought a delightful fusion of European and Texan flavors to the Heights neighborhood. Their menu is a culinary journey, featuring European classics with a Texas twist, such as pan-fried schnitzel, chicken paprikash, and halušky—thick, doughy dumplings popular in Central and Eastern Europe.

But the innovation doesn't stop there. The taco menu offers unexpected delights like escargot, Polish kielbasa, and Italian shrimp scampi fillings. For a truly unique experience, don't miss the Texas paella, a hearty dish that perfectly blends diverse culinary traditions.
