Meet the Chefs

 

Rosario Sotelo discovered her love for food and cooking at a young age. Growing up in Guerrero, Mexico, she remembers watching her caretakers prepare authentic Mexican food for her family. Rosario fell in love with the way that food brought people together. She especially fell in love with el borrego, which translates to lamb in english, because it is a dish meant for celebration and bringing family together.

Today, Rosario, along with her daughter, Rodnia, share the power of unity through food as the heart and soul of a small family owned restaurant in San Diego that specializes in “el borrego.”

“It’s all about Mom’s cooking!!”

From our humble beginnings in 2002, to today…

“Food plays a vital role in our lives - where it comes from, how we enjoy it, and how we acquire it - connects us all.”
