Astonishing ambiance and true old-world flavors bring Mexico to North County
SAN DIEGO--May 27, 2003--Nestled in an original Weir Brothers adobe house dating back to the 1930s the newly remodeled restaurant Hacienda de Vega, which specializes in gourmet Mexican cuisine, is now open for business. The 2,700 square foot building features fountains, wood-beamed ceilings, whitewashed walls and saltillo tiles along with a myriad of imported treasures that evoke images of a simpler way of life and provide a window into Mexican family traditions.
“We’ve really made it a point to keep every aspect of the restaurant as true as possible to the real thing. Mexico is incredibly rich in customs, flavors and textures” said Patricia Vega, the restaurant’s chef and family matriarch; “it is very important for me to be as faithful as I can to the traditions of which I am so proud”.
Bold, distinctive and delicious spices are the hallmark of Hacienda de Vega’s amazing family recipes. One authentic specialty after another duplicate ageless flavors such as Mole Poblano, Tequila Shrimp, Tampiquena and the signature Sabana Invierno (Winter Quilt). The 18 oz. Hacienda Margarita, a secret house original, is the perfect complement to this incredible feast of the senses.
The 1.6-acre Hacienda de Vega also features an incredible outdoor dining patio surrounded by a lavish landscape with tropical flowers and complete with its own pond and waterfall, which cascades continuously and provides a peaceful and serene backdrop for the perfect meal.
“To nourish the body and to satisfy the soul”; says the first line of Hacienda de Vega’s sumptuous menu. A family owned restaurant that has taken San Diego’s palate by storm.
Hacienda de Vega is the first Gourmet Mexican Restaurant in San Diego serving the true regional foods of Mexico. Hacienda de Vega is located at the south end of Escondido, in San Diego’s North County Inland, at 2608 S. Escondido Boulevard. Dinner reservations are recommended Monday through Thursday.
