While Bubba Chinos couldn't make it in Park Hill, another outpost is moving into the former home of Vella's, at 3000 South Federal Boulevard. That will put this homegrown chain back at eight outlets, since an Edgewater store opened this fall.
Bubba Chinos is the brainchild of Leonard Cordova, grandson of the legendary Stella Cordova, who ran Chubby Burger Drive-In for forty years, until she passed away last year at the age of 100.
Raised in northern California, Leonard mixed the food he grew up on with his grandmother's traditional Mexican food to create the Bubba Chinos menu, which includes both a grilled breakfast burrito and a killer double cheeseburger with chile.
