“Most of my memories revolve around really good food,” says Esteban Castillo (@chicanoeats), the Southern California-based blogger and cook behind the bold colors and flavorful recipes of Chicano Eats. After growing up in Los Angeles in a Mexican-American family, Esteban studied graphic design in college, a skill which prompted him to re-examine the way other Americans looked at Mexican food. “Here in the US, people think it’s just tacos and burritos, street food,” he says. Inspired by German-American artist Josef Albers’ work with monochromatic colors, Esteban began experimenting with placing his dishes — everything from Cara Cara orange mezcal sours to pulled pork sliders to coconut café de olla popsicles — against similarly colored backdrops. “By putting Mexican food in this minimalist, colorful setting, it just puts the spotlight on the food,” he says. While some of Esteban’s recipes are traditional Mexican, others are a fusion, a nod to both his heritage and his upbringing in one dish. “Honestly,” he says, “I can’t even distinguish between what’s Mexican and what’s American anymore.”
