"Santos's shipping container food hall has helped fuel his mission: it promotes local entrepreneurship from established and new restaurants in a historic space. Amid repurposed white containers, attached like Legos, diners can find an outdoor patio ideal for group hangs while drinking craft beer that has the sweet-sour punch of Mexican candy and snacking on Filipino street food, curtido-covered pupusas, Oaxacan coffee, or blistered pizzas."
"Two vendors have been at BLVD since the beginning: Vchos Pupuseria Moderna and Los Taquero Mucho. Order Vchos' classic pupusa revuelta stuffed with beans, pork, and cheese for the ultimate melty pull; grab savory chilaquiles verdes from Los Taquero Mucho. Joe Chavez spent 30 years perfecting his sourdough crust: Cold Pizza's pie with Italian sausage, artichokes, and fresh jalapeños offers tang and heat. Despite its namesake, the spot's pizzas emerge bubbling and hot from the wood-fired oven."
Barney Santos opened BLVD MRKT in 2021 to keep Gateway Cities communities invested in the local dining scene. The shipping-container food hall promotes local entrepreneurship by hosting established and new restaurants inside repurposed white containers attached like Legos. An outdoor patio encourages group gatherings and live music nights while patrons drink craft beer and sample Filipino street food, curtido-covered pupusas, Oaxacan coffee, and blistered pizzas. Longstanding vendors include Vchos Pupuseria Moderna and Los Taquero Mucho, serving pupusas and chilaquiles verdes. Cold Pizza offers a sourdough-crust pie from a wood-fired oven. White Rice serves crispy lechon rice bowls. Alchemy Craft rotates drinks, featuring the habanero-kicked Mexican Lollipop from Honest Abe Cider House. Parking is plentiful and the space is child- and dog-friendly.
