Briefly

Reyna Maldonado, co-owner of Las Guerreras, connected with her roots in Guerrero, Mexico, to seek her grandmother's blessing for a new cevichería. The restaurant focuses on authentic seafood dishes, emphasizing family-run values even as it grows into a larger team. Maldonado's trip to her hometown, where she enjoyed local delicacies, inspired her culinary vision and infused her dishes with deep personal significance. Her experience reflects the challenges and triumphs of undocumented entrepreneurs in California, highlighting the crucial role of community and heritage in their ventures.
I love the dish. I love the name. I love the flavors with saltine crackers, and then you add a little bit of salsa.
Part of what was missing was that I needed to experience this myself.
