In this episode of The Hop Show, Javi chats with Corissa Hernandez, co-founder of Baja-inspired craft beer bar, Xelas in Boyle Heights, and authentic-chic Guadalajara-inspired bar and restaurant, Nativo in Highland Park.

Javi and Corissa dive into her Latinx roots and how it’s inspired her journey, putting together culturally authentic food and beverage programs, embracing the local neighborhood community, creating safe spaces for females in bars, pivoting experiential hospitality experiences for the pandemic, and so much more!
