In April of 2005, Romesco Mexiterranean Bistro opened in a quaint Bonita shopping center and has been treating patrons to culinary delights ever since. To celebrate the restaurant’s anniversary, Romesco is planning a weekend full of events showcasing what guests have come to love about the restaurant and honoring the Plascencia Group’s beginnings and future.
Come dine, drink and be merry on this special weekend, where you can not only experience Romesco's fabulous flavors but get a sneak peak into Chef Javier Plascencia's plans for his highly anticipated Little Italy restaurant opening in May, Bracero Cocina de Raiz.
Start the celebrations early on Thursday, April 23 with Beer and Baja cuisine. For $20 per person, enjoy a beer tasting in the Tapas Bar with beer flights and live music courtesy of DJ Luis Santamaria. For $50 per person, sit down in the dining room for a beer pairing dinner starting at 5pm.
