Our History

Our History

Owners Pepe and Deborah Stepensky originally moved from Mexico City to San Diego in 1986 and quickly discovered there was a need for more authentic Mexican food, but in a fast-casual atmosphere. Porkyland Mexican Grill helped fulfill their dream to bring a little bit of Mexico City to the community of San Diego.

Porkyland Mexican Grill prides itself on serving original family recipes made from scratch daily. Pepe and Deborah currently operate Porkyland Mexican Grill, servicing the Del Mar, Carmel Valley, and Torrey Hills neighborhoods as well as two longtime staples of Seaport Village: Margaritas Kitchen & Cantina, and San Diego Burger Company.
