Michoacan Street Food at Urbana

August 28, 2015

Urbana is the latest artisan eatery to open at the Anaheim Packing House.

Owner Javier Cuadra was born and raised in Zamora, Mexico and grew up with access to delicious, fresh street food. After exporting seasonal organic berries from Mexico, he eventually yearned to open a restaurant and now with Chef Ernie Alvarado’s culinary artistry he’s bringing hearty and healthy Michoacán street food to the Packing House family. 

Urbana offers 100% natural and fresh ingredients including handmade tortillas, gourmet tacos such as tinga tu taco with cotija, pickled red onion, and micro cilantro. Other delicious items include snapper ceviche, nachos libres, enchiladas suizas such as shrimp al mojo de ajo with green tomatillo salsa, crema fresca, oaxaca cheese, and micro cilantro.

Complimenting the menu, Urbana’s bar offerings include tequila and Mezcal favorites as well as top shelf agave spirits and a spin on craft cocktails. 

Day of the Dead mural walls handmade by graffiti artist Samir Evol pay tribute to Javier’s Michoacán upbringing where Dia de los Muertos is celebrated. And calacas are hanging in made by an old man from Michoacán who makes them once a year for ‘dia de los muertos’ out of paper mache.

Open 11:30 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily; bar open till midnight.

The Anaheim Packing District at 440 S. Anaheim in Anaheim. 714.502.0255.
