"It was a beautiful day in the East Bay 70s and sunny to be exact when I found myself in front of the Richmond Food Center with a rumbling stomach and a curious mind. It was the intersection where Cutting Boulevard and South 23rd Street meet, and the start of my journey. Weeks ago, while aimlessly scrolling through social media, I came across a video of a New York influencer walking Manhattan from top to bottom in an effort to discover new sights"
"My first stop was La Gran Chiquita, a family-run spot that dishes up authentic Mexico City cuisine. When I first walked in, I was greeted by murals, colorful seven-pointed star pinatas and wide smiles from servers. Its extensive menu offers classic dishes, such as tortas, caldo, burritos, and gorditas. They also offer pambazos, a common Mexican street sandwich that is dipped in guajillo salsa, grilled, and then filled with potatoes, chorizo, queso fresco, crema and lettuce."
