San Diego residents were thrown into a state of confusion recently after a report surfaced claiming that Las Cuatro Milpas, a well-known restaurant in Barrio Logan, was going to shut down after being in business for 91 years. The news, which was first shared on the blog SanDiegoVille, suggested that the iconic Mexican eatery would be closing its doors sometime next year. Additionally, the post mentioned that the building housing the restaurant had been sold to a neighboring church.
However, Las Cuatro Milpas took to Instagram to clear up any misconceptions and reassure its customers that they are still very much open for business. The restaurant, which was founded in the 1930s by Petra and Natividad Estudillo, has become a staple in San Diego’s food scene. Known for its authentic Mexican dishes such as rolled tacos, tamales, and hand-rolled tortillas, Las Cuatro Milpas has garnered a loyal following over the years.
Sofia Estudillo, the daughter of the restaurant’s founders, is now in charge of running the family business. She stated in an interview with FOX 5/KUSI that she intends to keep Las Cuatro Milpas running for as long as possible. The restaurant has always been a community favorite, with its unassuming decor and dedicated clientele that often forms long lines that wrap around the block.
For those eager to experience the delicious offerings at Las Cuatro Milpas, they can visit the restaurant at 1857 Logan Avenue. Despite the initial rumors of closure, it seems that San Diegans can continue to enjoy the beloved establishment for the foreseeable future. The restaurant remains a symbol of tradition and authenticity in the local culinary landscape, serving up generations-old recipes that have stood the test of time.
