Six years after opening our doors in San Juan Capistrano, we celebrated the ribbon cutting of our new expanded home, the historic 1880s Oyharzabal Barn. It was incredibly meaningful to mark the occasion surrounded by local ambassadors, community leaders, and many of the people who have supported us from the beginning.
More than 100 years old, the barn has been thoughtfully restored and repurposed, and this long-awaited expansion marks a new chapter for Heritage as we continue exploring the deep roots of California barbecue, live-fire cooking, and San Juan’s vaquero history.
Thank you to the San Juan Capistrano Chamber of Commerce and everyone who joined us for this special moment. We are so grateful to continue growing and building our future right here in the heart of San Juan Capistrano. ❤️

Happy birthday to our beautiful, inspiring, strong, and resilient co-owner Brenda Castillo! ❤️
Earlier this year, we asked Brenda to reflect on her legacy, one that’s still being written. Through every chapter of Heritage Barbecue, she has led with love for her family, crew, and community. Cheers to more blessings than ever before, trusting in what’s ahead, leaving it in God’s hands, and believing the best is truly yet to come!
Share your birthday wishes with Brenda below! 🎂
