Taco Mesita in Tustin is the effort of third generation chef & restauranter Ivan Calderon (Taco Rosa & Taco Mesa) and his son Nico. “A chef-driven fast-food shop with a wood-fired grill serving gourmet Mexican cuisine with house made everything including freshly pressed blue corn tortillas. This gourmet taco shop with a drive-thru and patio seating offers breakfast, rotisserie chicken, and other Mexican dishes in a casual setting.”Stepping away from the wood-fired grill to join us is 4th generation restaurateur Nico Calderon.One of the early pioneers in the Temecula Valley in growing premium wine grapes, producing award-winning wines and later offering deluxe accommodations for guests is Jim Carter of Carter Hospitality. His properties in Temecula include South Coast Winery Resort and Spa and Carter Estate Winery and Resort. Today Jim Carter’s son, Jeff, continues the family legacy. “South Coast Winery Resort & Spa and Carter Estate Winery and Resort are truly the diamonds of the Temecula Valley producing a broad portfolio of award-winning wines and providing five-star hospitality.” Jeff Carter joins us to uncork all that is Carter Hospitality.
