New Beginnings: New Restaurants Planned for San Diego in 2021, Including VAGA by Chef Claudette Zepeda

Scene in San Diego

On this episode of our Scene in San Diego podcast, (our final installment of 2020), we talk about the latest pandemic-era whiplash faced by San Diego restaurants, which – for a minute earlier this month – were able to reopen. We also toward what’s hopefully a brighter, better 2021 by looking at a few highly-anticipated local restaurants set to debut in the New Year.

One of those projects is a new restaurant from renowned San Diego native, Chef Claudette Zepeda.

Zepeda joins our podcast to talk about her new eatery, VAGA, which will be part of a new beach resort in Encinitas.

Known for her bold approach to regional Mexican cuisine, Zepeda said the menu at VAGA is a departure from what she’s traditionally known for – but everything on that menu will be very much a part of her heart. She calls VAGA her “love letter to San Diego.”
