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.

Climate-Friendly Chickpea & Quinoa Bowl
I don't like this please do not ever put this in my order

Chicken & Broccoli Pasta
Nothing special about this dish. Needs more sauce. It’s not very filling. And where is the broccoli?

Golden Miso Chicken Salad
Good taste, variety of ingredients. Good tasting sauce

Roasted Chicken
The chicken was super dry. The “salad” was shriveled upon opening. The clear film had some kind of error and was doubled up on one side and somehow made it under one side of the food. The container was kind of smashed too. Maybe a one off?

Southwest Chicken Bowl
I ate this on the best before date. I threw out 90% of the greens-they were slimy. CU needs to figure out how to keep greens separate from other wet ingredients. Without the greens dish was good.

Carne Asada Burrito Bowl
Meat was chewy, but the taste was good.

Hibachi Chicken Bowl
