About Azul Latin Kitchen

Azul Latin Kitchen opened July 24, 2014 in Heavenly Village.  Brought to you by the Tahoe Restaurant Group, we are the sister restaurant to Basecamp Pizza Co, also in the Heavenly Village. We offer a "lighter, fresher and healthier" take on Mexican and South and Central American cuisine. We are committed to using local, organic, and sustainable products whenever possible to provide the highest quality foods to our customers. Don't forget about our drinks, which consist of a variety of tequila and non-tequila options, and are made with fresh-squeezed juices instead of mixtures.

In May 2025, that commitment came full circle when the group proudly became employee owned—recognizing the people who built it and giving them a true stake in its future. The pillars of success have always centered on one key value: people. Community, friends, and family are at the heart of everything TRG does, supported by a deep belief in being locally owned, locally supported, and deeply connected to the place it calls home.

Founded in 2002 by Ray, Fireside Pizza began as a single Tahoe restaurant built on a simple idea: bring people together over great food in a place that feels like home. What started as one warm, welcoming spot in the mountains quickly became something more—a launching point for careers, friendships, and lifelong connections. Many team members got their very first start in the restaurant industry at Fireside, growing their skills, confidence, and leadership, and eventually becoming partners and owners of other restaurants within the group.

From those humble beginnings, Fireside grew into the Tahoe Restaurant Group, now home to four distinct and beloved locations: Fireside Pizza, Rubicon Pizza, Base Camp Pizza, and Azul Latin Kitchen.  Each restaurant reflects the spirit of Tahoe while sharing a common foundation rooted in teamwork, opportunity, and genuine hospitality.
