Nelson Brizuela
About
Chef Nelson Brizuela came to the u.s. in 2006 from El Salvador and began his first job in the restaurant industry at Mantilini. Beginning as a dishwasher, Chef Brizuela worked on building his culinary skills and determined to reach the position of head chef! He was proudly a part of the family at Mantilini for 10 years, until they closed their doors. After Mantilini, Chef began working at Hinoki & The Bird, under Executive Chef Brandon Kida, where he has continued to develop his techniques as a chef and a leader. Hinoki is a Japanese-American fusion restaurant where, as a sous chef, Brizuela has ventured into classic dishes like lobster, BBQ, ceviche and more. Under the mentorship of Chef Kida, Chef Brizuela has pushed to further develop his talents and, with chef Kida’s guidance, Brizuela has decided to take the opportunity to create his own “Revolution Kitchen.” The base of his dishes will focus on traditional cuisines with a modern twist.

Rainbow Chicken & Pasta Salad
The best. All of the ingredients and the dressing harmonize really well together and the pasta is perfectly cooked. Everything is always really fresh, including the arugula .

Taste good. Good portions.

Southwest Chicken Bowl
No real sign of corn or beans. Not clear what is Southwest about it. One and done for me.

Climate-Friendly Chickpea & Quinoa Bowl
Both times I have ordered this, the kale was really bitter — so bitter, I had to remove it from the dish. The other ingredients and the sauce are great. I normally like kale!

Crispy Coconut Chicken Tenders
French fries were a little dry somehow. The dish needed way more sauce but really the fries needed something else. It was almost stale-ish.

Vietnamese Shrimp Noodle Bowl
It was my very first cookunity meal and it hooked me. I'm very sad I haven't seen it as an option since then. Would be great during summer.
