The Latin Food Festival is coming to San Diego in September, and Isabel Cruz will be a featured Chef!
By The Latin Kitchen Staff - April 11, 2013

Latin Food Fest will be descending upon San Diego to pay homage to Southern California and Northern Baja this September with a 4-day extravaganza. Beginning this Friday, April 12th, Visa cardholders can order online tickets to the many events the festival will be highlighting in San Diego later this year.
From September 12 - 15, the festival will bring together more than 70 wineries, distillers, chefs, restaurants, and artisan food makers to expand palates and entertain guests with the best of Baja food. All the while, the fest will be doing some good in the process: gathering resources to fight hunger in San Diego and deliver drinkable water to Baja.
Don’t miss: the opening Churros and Chocolate Breakfast for a sweet start to the weekend; Preparing and Prepping Spanish Tapas and Wine, a seminar on how to pair your favorite small bites; and the James Beard Baja-Med Dinner Benefit, a four-course tasting menu prepared by chef Miguel Angel Guerrero from La Querencia in Tijuana Mexico, chef Chad White of PlanCha Baja Med in San Diego, and chef Pablo Salas of Restaurante Amaranta from Toluca, Mexico.
Also featured will be ¡Fest! At Night, a wine, spirits, and tapas tasting, an Iron Mixologist Competition, and a full day of Chefs at the Park, which offers guests a chance to attend cooking demos and grab small plates and cocktails from your favorite chefs and mixologists at PETCO Park at the Park.
You’ll also get a chance to chat with participating chefs such as Chef Lala, Martin Gonzalez of Acqua Al 2, Isabel Cruz, Paul Bauer of Café Sevilla, Javier Plascencia from Mision 19, Drew Deckman from the Valle’s newest hotspot Deckman’s En El Mogor, and the ever-popular Aarón Sánchez.
Tickets range from $45 to around $300 depending on the event, with plenty of packages available should you want to turn the fest into a weekend getaway. Get your ticket before they sell out (they’re going fast!)
