Coming soon to 3355 Mission Street in Bernal Heights!
“The phenomenon of watching a movie you’ve heard or read about, that everyone’s talking over, and having that movie be better than you could have even imagined is a sensational phenomenon. Eating Abraham Nuñez’s tamale negro is just like that, a kind of psychic prodigal union after years of writing about Chicáno Nuevo’s blockbuster squid ink maiz dish. The beef tongue stuffed inside like gifts in a stocking is rich, tremendous in depth, with the sherry braise shining in each morsel. Cheddar and Gouda give sharp creaminess to the dish, creating a holy trinity with the Baja-style crema, and the pickled peppers and white onions provide another range of complexity with their shared acidity… This cook is sky-bound, bringing the punks and barflies to the clouds with him and his innovative, decadent tamales.” — Paolo Bicchieri, Eater SF reporter

Chicáno Nuevo x Designer Erik Marinovich
Erik Marinovich is an internationally recognized and admired artist with a focus on branding and typesetting. Erik has been a fan of Chicáno Nuevo for years as a customer and later a friend of chef Abraham, and we’re thrilled to have him on the team as lead art director and design consultant. This includes our Chicáno Nuevo Tile Program, created as a way to thank our donors in style. Each tile, which will be placed on the wall in the entryway of our space, will feature custom etchings of each donor’s name (along with other fun perks!) set in Erik’s original type design.
