¡Fiesta! The History of San Diego’s Mexican Restaurants, by Martin S. Lindsay

The Culinary Historians of San Diego will present “¡Fiesta! The History of San Diego’s Mexican Restaurants” with Martin S. Lindsay, at 10:30 am February 18, 2023, in the Neil Morgan Auditorium of the San Diego Central Library, 330 Park Blvd., San Diego, CA 92102. The event is free and open to the public. A tasting will follow the presentation.

San Diego has long been called “the birthplace of California” and Mexico’s rich cultures and cuisines have influenced our food choices since the city’s beginnings in 1769. Martin’s fast-paced visual presentation celebrates the history of local San Diego restaurants borne from Hispanic, Mexican, and Latinx cultures. Some you may never have heard of, and others that have become classics over the years. What’s your favorite?
