"MexiQ, run by Aaron Stewart, offers a unique blend of barbecue and Mexican cuisine. Stewart, who grew up in a predominantly Latino neighborhood in East Oakland, combines the flavors of his childhood with his professional culinary training. MexiQ started as a small driveway taco stand and has grown into a popular catering service and takeout staple. The menu features items like ribs with a tamarind glaze, brisket with tequila barbecue sauce, and jalapeno corn muffins. Stewart's food reflects his love for both barbecue and Mexican cuisine, maintaining authenticity and respect for the cultures." - Luke Tsai
