Why they're an Icon
Executive chef: Julio Hernandez
From the OpenTable editors: Grinding and pressing heirloom corn tortillas are the specialty of chef Julio Hernandez, who caught the attention of Bon Appétit and a James Beard Award nom with the lime green food truck that shot him to fame. Now at a permanent location in The Gulch, you can score Hernandez's beloved birria plus all-new dishes featuring several types of mole and Southern-inflected takes on Mexican fare, like grits served with salsa and tostadas.
