Olamendi's Hispanic Heritage Month Award Celebration & Reception

Assemblymember Bill Brough will honor Jorge & Maria Olamendi for their extraordinary contributions to the community, in celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month. Jorge & Maria have shared (with the community) their traditional Mexican cooking, by creating a bespoke blend of flavors that draw many to their establishment. The restaurant invites you to become a part of the Olamendi family, not only through their cuisine, but with the memories they share in photographs that line the walls.

"The month of September represents Hispanic Heritage Month in which we as a community acknowledge the contributions, history, and culture of generations of Hispanic Americans. Southern California, especially the 73rd District, is deeply woven with Hispanic culture that has shaped the history of California. Jorge & Maria generously share their heritage with us and I am deeply grateful for their contributions as a small business to our community," - said Brough.

Each year Americans recognize Hispanic Heritage Month from September 15 through October 15. It is a time to celebrate the histories and cultures of Americans whose families came from Spain, Mexico, and South America. It is also a time to acknowledge the many contributions by Hispanic Americans to the United States.

Jorge & Maria Olamendi established Olamendi's Mexican Cuisine in 1973. Its menu features delicious and traditional meals that were crafted by their families throughout generations. The cuisine is individual, authentic, and effortless; giving the Olamendi's their renowned reputation. Situated along Pacific Coast Highway, Olamendi's offers colorful architecture and emanates cultural heritage as you walk through the door. Olamendi's Cuisine is woven into the history of Southern California.

You are invited to help the Olamendi family celebrate this wonderful achievement at Olamendi's on Wednesday, October 14th at 4pm. Assemblyman Bill Brough will be on-hand to present Jorge & Maria with a certificate and we have a feeling that some Olamendi's Tequila might be involved :)
