BAJA STYLE CUISINE…

is based on the culinary style found in Baja California. Baja cooking is
comprised of fresh ingredients, grilled fish and meat, and very little seasoning
(primarily only garlic, salt, and pepper). Baja Style Cuisine includes no cumin.

Hector’s was the first restaurant to use the term “Baja Style” in 1997, before the term
became trendy. Many restaurants now loosely use this term, and some even have copied
the names of our dishes, but none match the quality of our ingredients and preparation.

The Pescado Taco served in its current state was discovered in San Felipe, Mexico
in the early 80’s and brought north of the border to San Diego by Ralph Rubio.

Lobster served Baja Style, prepared on the grill, is unique to Hector’s Restaurant.
One would have to travel to Puerto Nuevo, Baja California, to find this on the menu.

MEXICAN HOLIDAYS

CINCO DE MAYO is the day that Mexican citizens celebrate their victory over the French
in the Battle of Puebla in 1862. The French were finally successful in their invasion
of Mexico a year later, and Napoleon established Maximilian as the ruler of Mexico.
Maximilian ruled from 1864 to 1867. His rule ended as the United States
provided political and military assistance to Mexico to expel France.

MEXICO’S INDEPENDENCE DAY is celebrated on September 16, honoring the
call by Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla in 1810 for independence from Spain.
