About Us

On an innocent Saturday afternoon, Angel Gallegos and Peter Trevino finished their third Patron shot. As the sweet agave juice coursed through Angel's veins, he stared at his empty shot glass and blurted something that's been on his entrepreneurial mind for years. "I want our own tequila." Trevino then slowly looked up at Angel with a mischievous smile, almost as if he's been calmly waiting for this conversation ever since they first met, and suspiciously asked, "And what are we going to call this tequila?" Angel then looked over at the flat screen TV to Peter’s left, and saw that The University of Texas football team just scored a touchdown. The UT Fight Song proudly erupted, Angel grinned, and boldly stated the following two words that would be branded into their minds forever. “Dos Cuernos.”

Shortly after, a spirited Sylvester Palacios confidently walks into the hazy corner of the bar. He identified them immediately – pinpointing the bar top with the most empty glasses – having no idea what he was being summoned to. Sylvester sat down and before he can order a drink he was asked, “We’re going to start our own tequila. Do you want to go on this adventure with us?” Needless to say, it took thirty minutes, two beers and four shots for Sylvester to sarcastically say, “Eh, what else am I going to do with my life.” From there, the Dos Cuernos trio was born and the journey began to find the next premier drink of the Aztec Gods.
