Six years after opening our doors in San Juan Capistrano, we celebrated the ribbon cutting of our new expanded home, the historic 1880s Oyharzabal Barn. It was incredibly meaningful to mark the occasion surrounded by local ambassadors, community leaders, and many of the people who have supported us from the beginning.

More than 100 years old, the barn has been thoughtfully restored and repurposed, and this long-awaited expansion marks a new chapter for Heritage as we continue exploring the deep roots of California barbecue, live-fire cooking, and San Juan’s vaquero history.

Thank you to the @sanjuanchamber and everyone who joined us for this special moment. We are so grateful to continue growing and building our future right here in the heart of San Juan Capistrano. ❤️ taken in Heritage Barbecue by @heritagebarbecue

A pretty special view of what’s next for our little corner and parcel of history in San Juan Capistrano.

Six years of Heritage Barbecue, and the newest chapter is finally taking shape. Our newly restored historic barn is ready for what’s ahead, from dinner service and special events to collaborations with chefs and pitmasters near and far.

There’s a lot more to come, and we can’t wait to welcome you into this next chapter. Thank you for all the wonderful anniversary wishes—we’re definitely feeling the love and support from the community. ❤️

Tradition doesn’t have to look exactly the way it used to.

For @chefdanielcastillo, Mexican and Californian roots come together around the table, carrying forward a food identity, a family history, and a responsibility his grandparents passed down to him.

The cooking has evolved and the family keeps growing, but some things were never meant to change. The Castillo salsa is still made the same way it has been for generations, and it still sits at the center of every Sunday Supper.

You learned it without being taught. Now someone’s learning it from you.

The first episode of Sunday Supper is here.

Watch it now on YouTube and at the link in bio.

For Issue 37: The New California Cuisine, we wanted to capture what California dining looks like right now—and spotlight 25 restaurants that embody the Golden State food ethos.

Whether preserving cultural traditions, collaborating with local farmers, or creating new forms of fusion, the best California restaurants tell a story, even when they do it in a laid-back way.

To build the list, we brought together critics @gustavo_arellano, @thegordinier, @soleil_ho, and @patkyeo, spanning Northern and Southern California, a range of price points, and everything from pop-ups and takeout spots to full-service restaurants. We organized the 25 picks into five categories: Casual Cool, Believe the Hype, Ingredient-Forward, Community Vibe, and Location, Location, Location.

Today, we’re starting with Casual Cool: restaurants making great meals for busy Californians.

The tri-tip seasoning your carniceria doesn’t talk about 🤫🔥

Chef Daniel Castillo of @heritagebarbecue starts his award-winning tri-tip and pollo asado with Chef Merito as the base, then adds his own twist to make it his. Most carnicerias do the same. They just don’t say it out loud.

Tri-tip or pollo asado: what’s hitting the grill this weekend? 👇
