Shownotes

Taco Mesita in Tustin is the effort of third generation chef & restauranter Ivan Calderon (Taco Rosa & Taco Mesa) and his son Nico. “A chef-driven fast-food shop with a wood-fired grill serving gourmet Mexican cuisine with house made everything including freshly pressed blue corn tortillas. This gourmet taco shop with a drive-thru and patio seating offers breakfast, rotisserie chicken, and other Mexican dishes in a casual setting.”

“Featured items include Churro Brioche French Toast; Woodfire Roasted Chicken Taco with roasted chicken on a homemade blue corn tortilla topped with charred corn relish, cabbage, tomatillo, red onion, avocado crema and queso fresco; Breakfast Burrito and Woodfired Elote with corn dipped in a butter brine, topped with thyme, mayo parmesan and house made chili powder.”

Taco Mesita opens at 7:00 a.m. daily and serves seven days a week.

Stepping away from the wood-fired grill to join us is 4th generation restaurateur Nico Calderon.
