Sabor y arte is a chef-led, reservation-only private dinner experience showcasing the depth, richness, and history of traditional Mexican cuisine. Each dinner is an immersive cultural journey, hosted either in-home, in curated pop-up locations, or select private venues across San Diego. Guests enjoy multi-course meals rooted in regional dishes—from Oaxaca, Puebla, Jalisco, Veracruz, and beyond—crafted with seasonal, locally sourced ingredients and ancestral techniques.
