"Miguel Hernandez road-tripped around Orange County to craft his menu, gathering intel and inspiration from roadside restaurants he found along the way. The resulting burritos, whipped up in the kitchen of his family’s restaurant, are stuffed with beef birria and queso blanco; chorizo and potatoes crisped in chile de arbol; and, in a true moment of Califorcana, steak with guacamole and French fries. (They’re wrapped in a crunchy cheese crust upon request, a nod to famed LA pop-up Lowkey Burritos.) Hernandez serves a number of other Chicano dishes too, from asada fries to birria tortas, all accompanied by his sister Diana Hernandez’s nutty mazapan frappuccinos, horchata cold brews, and mochas laced with Oaxacan chocolate. These burritos are one-of-a-kind in the Cities — and Hernandez keeps building on the concept, smoking whole briskets for weekend brunches and pouring mimosas." - Justine Jones
