Member Spotlight: Laurie Rios, Cabo Bob's Burritos
Can you tell us a little about the history of your business?
Cabo Bob's is a build-your-own burrito restaurant dedicated to sourcing the highest quality ingredients for our burritos, tacos, nachos, bowls, salads, and quesadillas. Established in Austin, Texas in 2008, Cabo Bob’s is known for our made-from-scratch flour tortillas, charcoal-grilled meats, and homemade sauces and salsas inspired by the Baja Coast.
How has being a member of the Chamber of Commerce benefited your business?
Joining the Katy Chamber of Commerce gave Cabo Bob’s an instant connection to a new community. Coming from Austin, joining gave us the opportunity to introduce Cabo Bob’s to people from diverse professional backgrounds who may have never had the chance to enjoy Cabo Bob’s Burritos.
Through print and social media, networking events, ribbon cuttings, and luncheons, the Chamber has provided Cabo Bob’s many opportunities to promote our restaurant. We have experienced substantial year-over-year growth since we opened in Katy in 2022 and we feel a large factor of that growth is our membership with the Chamber.
In what ways do you engage with the local community?
Cabo Bob’s loves to give back to our community. Every year we donate thousands of dollars in food, gift cards, auction baskets, and coupons. We host spirit nights at all of our restaurants and give 34% of event sales.
Cabo Bob’s also supports Mental Health Awareness. We celebrate Mental Health Awareness Month by donating $1 for every large chips and queso sold during May to different mental health programs. We did our first Mental Health Campaign in 2023 and raised over $33,000 to donate to the Amplify Center, a youth mental health clinic.
