Three brothers.
And, the third location to open in the city.
Welcome to the hood, Chuy's Fiesta!
And, ironically....three different pizza places used to be here (Mama Mia's, Red's, and La Mission).
Opening last Saturday is third location of Chuy's Fiesta in Bernal Heights (original in The Mission and second location in TenderNob). Owned by three brothers. Currently open for takeout and dine-in. Delivery to come.
Recommend calling in your takeout order since it may take longer than the quoted time.

* Crispy Flat Top Burrito w/ carnitas, pinto beans, jack cheese, guacamole, salsa, pico de gallo ($13.50): https://tinyurl.com/muf492y5
Def plan to put it in the airfryer if doing takeout/delivery as it gets soggy and wet (wrapped in foil).
Hefty burrito filled with crispy, meaty carnitas, tender pinto beans, little cheese with fixings packaged in a golden brown crispy tortilla (air-fried at home): https://tinyurl.com/295z86d6
I usually prefer my food lightly salted but I found it didn't have much flavor so the mildly spicy salsa roja and creamy avocado salsa verde came in clutch.
* Mole de Olla: Mexican Beef Stew ($14.50): https://tinyurl.com/36r7zf5z
- Includes rice and handmade corn tortillas
Mole de Olla translates to "pot of mole" but it's a not the "mole" you think. This beef soup has tender bone-in beef, potatoes, chayote, carrots, cabbage, and corn. Hearty and comforting but similar to the burrito, it didn't have much flavor so the onions, cilantro, and squeeze of lime helped.
It lowkey reminds me of caldo de res with a chili hued broth.

* Complimentary chips & salsa. Their avocado salsa verde is my fav but they only give you one 1.5 oz sauce container for your entire order.
* Proteins: Asada, pollo, birria, carnitas, tinga, chorizo. No offal available.
* Festive dining area with about 10 tables.
* Difficult street and residential parking.
