One of Barrio Logan’s most cherished restaurants is ready to welcome back customers, sixmonths after closing its original location, which the owners had called home for 92 years.

Las Cuatro Milpas will reopen its doors Tuesday at its new location, 1985 National Ave., just blocks from its former establishment on Logan Avenue.

    “We are so happy to be back home; Barrio Logan is our home; we belong here,” said NadiaEstudillo, 26, the great-granddaughter of the original owners. “We are going to bring that same feeling and legacy from the old location to this new restaurant,” she added.

    From 1933 to 2025, the Estudillo family served tamales, handmade tortillas, rolled tacos andmuch more at Las Cuatro Milpas.

    The food at this emblematic Barrio Logan restaurant, famous for its simplicity and flavor,and long lines often formed at the entrance.

    “We have always been blessed by our clientele and tomorrow we expect to see a lot of people,” noted Estudillo.

    The new Las Cuatro Milpas location will be open from 8:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. within the Mercado del Barrio mixed-use complex on National Avenue. The restaurant will give awaycommemorative shirts and other gifts to the first customers to arrive.

    “We can already smell the tortillas from here,” commented the San Diego Chefs page on thepost.

    The restaurant has been collecting mementos from locals, including photos of food and familyvisits, to adorn its walls and create a community time capsule.

    “We want to fill a wall with memories from the original location,” said Estudillo. “We want to bring all those memories over so that this [new] place has the same vibe as the previous restaurant.”

    The restaurant closed in December after operating on Logan since the Great Depression. The Estudillos sold the restaurant premises for $2.2 million due to mounting financial difficulties, including a tax debt totaling hundreds of thousands of dollars.

    But they hinted strongly that wouldn’t be gone forever. In January, the family said in an Instagram post that they were “working diligently behind the scenes to relocate and reopen our doors so we can continue doing what we love most: feeding our community with the food and care you know and trust.”
