Tortilla Coast, a Tex-Mex restaurant on Capitol Hill, took advantage of its new fame on Tuesday, after it was revealed that a few House Republicans met with Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) in the restaurant’s basement.

The secret meeting generated hashtags like #TortillaCoastRebellion and #TortillaCoastCaucus, according to Roll Call. And the restaurant took to Twitter to cheekily advertise its basement, convenience and hours in response to media buzz about the secret meeting.
