SAN DIEGO — Local restaurants are temporarily transforming the way they serve food during the stay-home-order.
And one of those businesses is Casanova Fish Tacos Catering of Spring Valley who hosted a pop-up, drive-thru event Saturday, inviting other businesses to participate.
“It’s been hard since March, trying to stay alive, we open and close, all of our events are shutdown, so I had to reinvent the way we deliver our product,” said former probation officer Hector Casanova.
He runs his catering business Casanova Fish Tacos of 12 years out of this warehouse and Casanova has been trying to figure out how to deliver his product safely. Determining how to reinvent his business amid COVID prompted him to host his first pop-up, drive-thru event on Saturday. He said he needs to work to support his family, while also thinking of his community.
He invited local restaurants and catering businesses to turn on the grill, display desserts and even make sangria to go. And at the end of the day, Casanova couldn’t believe the line deep with people coming out to support their local eateries.
The small businesses that participated in the event were Casnova Fish Tacos, My Pozole, Arepex Grill, Doggos Gus, Cakes by Casanova, Aw Snap, Scout & Cellar. They hope to do another one soon. Follow Casanova Fish Taco's Facebook Page for all updates and information.
