Hot San Diego Restaurant Openings You May Have Missed, August 2025 | Eater San Diego

"On the main drag in Barrio Logan, a new 2,500-square-foot restaurant from City Tacos and Tour de Tapas founder Gerry Torres, Fonda Del Barrio showcases ancestral Mexican cuisine with dishes like Oaxacan mole, Mayan achiote rubs, huarache, pescado a la veracruzana, and Yucatan-style octopus. Most of the wallet-friendly menu is structured as “comida corrida,” a working-person’s three-course meal that includes a small soup or salad, entrée, and dessert. All beers and wines hail from Mexico, and the only coffee served is café de olla. Outfitted with Mexican antiques, the 90-seat space includes a dining area and patio on one side and a separate bar and lounge in the adjacent area." - Helen I. Hwang
