Layla’s Son Hospitality is a hospitality group overseeing restaurants and bars in the Triangle, in North Carolina. We have multiple concepts including Neapolitan pizzerias, cocktail bars, taco shops, catering trucks, a brewery and more. We’ve partnered with some of the best in the industry such as Top Chef Katsuji Tanabe, and award winning mixologist Daniel Tallarico.

Sometimes, less is more—which is precisely the case with La Taqueria: the latest from restaurateur Anthony Rapillo and celeb chef Katsuji Tanabe. Unfolding this month in the former Boxyard RTP Leroy’s space, the duo’s second concept—behind last year’s DTR Flour & Barrel—will specialize in the simple yet flavor-filled authentic tacos Tanabe was raised on in Mexico City. No fussy elaborate ingredients—just really delicious, fresh tacos.

Raleigh’s 30-somethings are bossing up, leading the charge as tomorrow’s leaders already shaping today’s world. Meet our cast of Millennial Mavericks—across sectors from media to arts, hospitality to real estate, business to government and beyond—who are totally crushing it, promising to be names you’ll hear for decades to come.
