The Burger Joint, which has been operating the pop-up in conjunction with Federale Tacos for the past few months, has renewed their lease and will be launching a new menu next week, introducing stuffed burgers and salads, according to a news release.

“We want DE.CO to be known for its food, fun and flexibility,” said Mark Barnyak, General Manager of DE.CO, in a news release. “We are proud to be able to easily evolve based on the tastes and requests of our patrons without compromising quality or convenience.”
