A vertical image of a plastic cafeteria-style red tray with sliced tri-tip steak is placed in the center. The tri-tip is brown on the outside and light pink on the inside. Above the tri-tip is a bright red-ish orange sausage sliced into a series of coin sizes. On the other side of the meat is a flour tortilla folded into a loose-looking triangle shape pointed upward. Around them are various small plastic containers filled with different cooked vegetable sides and red and green salsas.

Chef Teo Montoya, along with his wife Melissa Montaya and partner Justin Graham, make up SOLRAD, a pop-up specializing in “Mexican-Americana” fare in Whittier, with a suitably Spanglish mashup name. The options are small, but carry a lot of heart and soul. The Bullshead breakfast burrito, for example, is made with perfectly stewed beef barbacoa, hashbrowns, refried beans (lard-free) and Tecate braised onions which meld into each other with a heavenly consistency.
