Taco Love Bros owners Dylan Morris and his brother Jordan, have a vision for a café with outdoor dining, live music in the evening - and lots of tacos.

At the moment, they are selling tacos from a pop-up food truck at their new café site - on the corner of Cathcart and Conway Streets in Lismore (near the Ballina/Wyrallah Road roundabout).

There’s cushions for customers to sit on, but they can’t have tables and chairs on the street – yet.

“All that will change once the café is open,” Dylan said.

The brothers have been jumping through the hoops of the Lismore City Council’s Development Application process to be allowed to start refurbishing the building.

“Last week, we made a breakthrough,” Dylan said. 

“It’s been a challenge keeping the DA process going and trying to stay afloat. 

“We sorted out the problem issue of reducing any cooking odour coming from the roof and we have sourced an over exhaust system with a range hood that will handle it.

“Now we are just waiting for our construction certificate to come through so we can refurbish."

Dylan said the brothers started out selling tacos at local markets from their food van but had their sights on opening up a street café in Lismore “with a market vibe”.

When he first walked into their new building at 20 Cathcart Street, Dylan said “it felt like home”.

“I trained to be a butcher and ironically the building used to be a butchery,” Dylan said.

“It has so much potential and we’re getting it up to standard."

As far as the food goes, Dylan said he “creates the most tasty tacos ever”. 

“I appreciate high quality produce and like to create special things," he said.

 “I have a passion for food and since I started making tacos at home, I have perfected the recipe."

The brothers are aiming for opening the café in December, if all goes according to plan.
