Capítulo 260: How Reyna Maldonado Is Taking Up Space At Levi's Stadium

Author: My Cultura, iHeartPodcasts and Locatora Studios February 6, 2026 Duration: 26:17

This week, we interview Reyna Maldonado, the force behind Las Guerreras Kitchen, a family owned and women led kitchen in Oakland. Reyna shares with us her journey bringing comida costeña, a style of cuisine from La Costa Grande, Guerrero, Mexico. Learn about her mother’s journey as a street vendor to Reyna’s journey as restaurantuer and why they're celebrating a new milestone: catering a national sporting event. Reyna tells us what it takes to cater an event of this magnitude and why it feels so special that an immigrant-owned business is serving 3,000 tamales and 5,000 mission-street style burritos.
