A Place at the Nayarit: How a Mexican Restaurant Nourished a Community Online
Join the California History Section for a live webinar on A Place at the Nayarit: How a Mexican Restaurant Nourished a Community on Wednesday, June 25, at 4:00 PM!
Join author and historian Natalia Molina in conversation with Sue Tyson, Head of the California History Section at the California State Library, as she shares the story behind A Place at the Nayarit: How a Mexican Restaurant Nourished a Community. This heartfelt book traces how Molina’s grandmother, Doña Natalia Barraza, built more than just a restaurant in Echo Park in 1951 — she created a vital community hub where immigrants and locals alike found connection, support, and a sense of belonging. Through personal stories of restaurant workers and patrons, Molina highlights the enduring power of community, resilience, and cultural pride. The event is free but requires registration.
