The 8,000-square-foot Mexican restaurant and bar, located at 310 Fifth Avenue, is currently listed for sale through local brokerage Next Wave Commercial, but ownership tells SanDiegoVille the business is not shutting down. The listing, marketed as a “newly built Gaslamp bar/restaurant,” highlights a fully built-out hospitality space with millions in recent improvements, including two bars, a redesigned kitchen, outdoor seating, and a full Type 47 liquor license.
The asking price is listed at $875,000, with a lease extending through April 2034 and an additional five-year option. The property sits on a high-traffic corner just one block from the San Diego Convention Center and three blocks from Petco Park, positioning it among the most visible restaurant locations in downtown.
Speculation about the restaurant’s future began circulating this past week, prompting SanDiegoVille to reach out directly to the team behind the concept. In response, Hasta Mañana ownership confirmed that while the business is being offered for sale, it remains open and operating. “We’re incredibly proud of the concept we’ve built and the dedicated team that executes it every day,” the statement reads. “I want to clarify that we are NOT closing our business. Instead, we are exploring the market’s appetite for a prime location, which has led us to list the business for sale.”
Hasta Mañana Cantina opened in spring 2024 in the former home of Rockin’ Baja Coastal Cantina, a long-running Gaslamp fixture that occupied the space for more than two decades before relocating nearby. The project was developed by San Diego’s Verant Group - operators behind concepts like Barleymash, The Smoking Gun, and Mavericks Beach Club - in partnership with Trilogy Real Estate Management President Howard Greenberg and a team of local hospitality veterans.
Designed as a large-format Mexican restaurant with a “Baja coastal” focus, Hasta Mañana features a menu created by Verant Group Corporate Chef Kevin Templeton, with offerings ranging from tacos and burritos to seafood-driven dishes, alongside a bar program centered on margaritas, Mexican spirits, and local craft beer. The concept quickly became one of the more prominent new additions to the Gaslamp’s post-pandemic dining landscape.
The decision to list the business comes amid what ownership describes as a challenging economic climate for new restaurant concepts, particularly in high-rent urban corridors like downtown San Diego. While the Gaslamp continues to see strong foot traffic, driven by tourism, conventions, and events, the cost of operating large-format venues has remained a persistent hurdle across the industry.
According to marketing materials for the listing, the opportunity is being positioned as a turnkey acquisition for another operator, with all furniture, fixtures, equipment, and infrastructure included in the sale. The space’s flexible layout and recent buildout are being pitched as adaptable for a wide range of concepts, suggesting the possibility of a future rebrand should a new owner take over.
For now, Hasta Mañana Cantina remains open to the public, with ownership emphasizing that the listing is part of a broader evaluation of options rather than an immediate shutdown. Whether the concept continues under current leadership or transitions to a new operator will likely depend on market response in the coming months.
Hasta Mañana Cantina is located at 310 Fifth Avenue in San Diego’s Gaslamp Quarter. For more information, visit hastamananacantina.com.
