This week, Giancarlo and Isabel explore the cultural phenomenon of South San Diego: Mexipinos. Heavily populated by both Latinos and Filipinos, National City is a San Diego neighborhood that provokes emotional and reactionary connections from locals. Reacting to the short film, “Plaza Blvd,” and the restaurant, Mexipino Craft, the two share their connections to the area as Latino and Filipino Americans. They talk about why both cultures found so many similarities with each other, how the communities banded together, and what the future of San Diego holds for them.
