Stash Burger, a new burger-focused ghost kitchen from Daniel Biello, co-founder of Chronic Tacos, is set to open in Newport Beach at 301 Main Street.
The kitchen will operate out of the existing Chronic Tacos location and is expected to begin service in Summer 2026, according to a social media account from Biello. Customers can order delivery or pickup directly through the on-site QR code, with Stash Burger offering a menu of Angus-beef smash burgers, fries, grilled cheese, and sweet treats. Biello continues to oversee his three Newport Chronic Tacos locations while developing this new project.
Stash Burger specializes in 100 percent prime Angus beef, with signature items including the Classic SmashBurger, Bacon Jam-Burger, and Spicy Jalapeño SmashBurger. The menu also features Stash Fries with customizable toppings, house-made dips and sauces, churro sticks, jalapeño poppers, and grilled cheese sandwiches.
The ghost kitchen is designed to serve lunch and dinner from 12:00 p.m. to 7:59 p.m., Tuesday through Saturday, while the Chronic Tacos location continues normal operations. Customers can combine their orders with drinks or dessert from Chronic Tacos while waiting for pickup.
Daniel Biello has been a restaurateur since founding Chronic Tacos, building the brand into a three-location operation in Newport Beach. His experience with quick-service concepts and menu innovation informs the approach at Stash Burger, where delivery efficiency and quality are central.
This ghost kitchen model allows Stash Burger to focus exclusively on delivery and pickup, leveraging the existing kitchen infrastructure. With items ranging from classic smash burgers to house-made sauces and churros, the menu appeals to both families and casual diners seeking comfort food with a creative twist.
