Mexico in a Bottle, San Diego's best celebration of mezcal, tequila, Mexican craft spirits, food, art, music and more returns! Mezcal. Cultura. Herencia. Join us Sunday, October 4 at Bread & Salt Gallery for an afternoon devoted to the great spirits of Mexico. Sip your way through agave spirits while hearing the stories behind them — the producers, the process, the land. You'll also find Mexican whiskey, rum, gin, liqueurs, and more waiting to be discovered. Local restaurants bring the flavor to match, serving up bites paired with cocktails, while art and live music fill the room around you. Because this isn't just about what's in the glass. Every bottle holds a piece of Mexican culture — a living link to history, tradition, food, art, and music. Life and death, distilled. That's what we're here to honor at Mexico in a Bottle.

We are pleased to invite you to our next Spirit of the Barrio luncheon on Friday, August 21, titled Protecting Patients and Community Health Centers: What's at Stake with Prop 44? This timely panel will bring together health care leaders, policy experts, and community advocates, to explore the potential impacts of Proposition 44 on patient care. Together, we'll engage in an important conversation about what this ballot measure could mean for the health care safety net—in San Diego and across the state. As always, Spirit of the Barrio is more than a luncheon. While enjoying our traditional tamales, you’ll have the opportunity to connect with fellow community leaders and partners who share a commitment to building healthier communities and ensuring that quality care remains accessible to those who need it most. We hope you’ll join us for this meaningful discussion and be part of the conversation about protecting access to care for vulnerable communities across California. Since 1986, Family Health Centers of San Diego’s Spirit of the Barrio luncheons have spread awareness about our mission to provide high-quality health care to underserved communities across San Diego, while also presenting a variety of themes to our guests as they dine on our legendary tamales. The Spirit of the Barrio luncheon is a celebrated part of Family Health Centers of San Diego’s history and is held at 1728 Newton Avenue, in the Barrio Logan neighborhood. The luncheons are open to the public and also always feature regionally unique raffle and silent auction prizes. Family Health Centers of San Diego on Instagram and Facebook
