Hernández manages Los Especiales on Avenida Madero, one of the few brick-and-mortar shops dedicated to tacos de canasta. A 2026 Michelin Guide feature on the shop identified him as its manager and described its daily output of around 2,000 steamed tacos, packed into tubs holding more than 200 each, with four fillings: chicharrón in red adobo, chicharrón in salsa verde, refried beans and potato. Los Especiales has been recommended in the Michelin Guide Mexico since 2025.
