Jax Bros Sandwich Shop continues family legacy

The Recio family has been providing burgers to the San Marcos population for years now with their downtown location, Jax Burgers, Fries and Shakes. A Best of Hays winner multiple years in a row, the family business has solidified itself in the college and local community. Their newest venture Jax Bros Sandwich Shop is located in a historical yet growing area of San Marcos, offering the East Guadalupe neighborhood easy access to fresh sandwiches with a family focus.

John Recio is the owner and founder of Jax Burgers, which now has six locations across Texas as well as a bar and restaurant, Cosmic Cowboy Lounge in Spring, Texas. He is a second-generation restaurateur, who works hand in hand with his sons Jake and Max. The brothers inspired the business name Jax, a mixture of their names, sixteen years ago. After years of success and growing Jax Burgers, the family wanted to flex their creative muscles in a different area of the restaurant world.
