Hernandez' Hideaway, located in Escondido, CA, is a Mexican-themed restaurant situated on the shores of Lake Hodges. Known for its chili verde enchiladas and margaritas, the restaurant faced closure due to alleged violations of San Diego County's COVID-19 safety guidelines.
Despite reopening on May 21, the restaurant was shut down by county officials after a month of operation, with the owner, Rick Stevens, facing backlash for his refusal to comply with public health orders. The establishment's future remains uncertain as it works to revise its procedures and regain compliance.
