EL OTRO LADO, CUATRO AÑO ❤️🔥
Cinco de Mayo Dinner Experience
What began as an intimate gathering has grown into something much deeper than a dinner. El Otro Lado is a celebration of community, culture, and the people who shape it—an intentional return to the roots of Cinco de Mayo through food, storytelling, and shared experience.
For our fourth year, we gather in San Francisco’s Mission District for an evening inspired by the rich culinary traditions of Puebla and Chef Isai’s Oaxacan roots. Each chef will interpret the region through their own lens, creating dishes that honor both heritage and innovation.

Date: May 5, 2026
Time: 6:30 PM – 10:00 PM
Location: Donaji, 3161 24th St, San Francisco, CA 94110

THE EXPERIENCE
El Otro Lado was created to reclaim Cinco de Mayo, moving away from commercialization and back toward something rooted in culture, memory, and intention. This is more than a dinner. It’s a space to gather, connect, and celebrate through food and storytelling.
