You know that feeling when, after years of hoping it will happen, two people you really like finally hook up? That Hallmark movie plot has manifested itself into existence with the pairing of Chopper and the Maiz de la Vida food truck. Sidling up to Chopper’s bar to enjoy a classic or novel rum tiki drink while digging into chef Julio Hernandez’s spectacular empanadas, tacos and quesabirria, made using tortillas featuring heritage corn that Hernandez milled by hand into masa? It’s better than the quick kiss at the end of two hours of Hallmark. How good is Hernandez? James Beard-nominated good!
