La Corriente had just opened its doors on Orange Avenue when it participated in Taste 2025, making its debut a highlight of the evening. The community’s welcome was resounding and the enthusiasm flowed both ways. Their vibrant flavors and energetic presence quickly made them a crowd favorite among attendees celebrating Coronado’s growing culinary scene.

“Our restaurant partners are truly the heart of A Taste of Coronado, and La Corriente’s enthusiastic participation, combined with the community’s response to their cuisine, made them a standout at last year’s event,” said Micki Palmer, Restaurant Lead for Taste 2025. “We’re thrilled to celebrate their recognition and excited to see them continue bringing that same energy and flavor to Orange Avenue.”

“We are incredibly grateful to the Coronado community and to CJWC for this recognition,” said Kathia Iturrios, Coronado Manager of La Corriente. “Participating in A Taste of Coronado on our opening day was such a meaningful experience for our team, and we’re honored to be part of this vibrant local food community.”

With 2025 marking the most successful Taste to date, planning is already underway for A Taste of Coronado 2026.
