A bit about Los Cilantros’ journey:
Los Cilantros reopened in the La Peña Cultural Center in September, and the restaurant previously occupied the space from 2014 to 2020. When COVID-19 shutdowns began, the restaurant closed but Lugo kept cooking to feed the unsheltered community, nurses and doctors and others in need. (…) Now, with the purchase of new equipment and upgrades to the kitchen at La Peña Cultural Center, Lugo is combining her family’s food traditions with her training from La Cocina and more than 15 years in the food industry to realize her vision for Los Cilantros fully. —Oaklandside (Oct. 27, 2023)
