The Aztec Brewing Company, previously the Aztec Brewery, was a small Mexican brewery in Mexicali that moved to San Diego in 1933 after the Prohibition was lifted. The brewery, which closed in 1953, was reopened in 2011 in the Vista Business Park, a home to a number of other craft breweries. Aztec today specializes in California-style IPAs and ales, some using traditional Mexican cuisine ingredients, in honor of the historic old brewery. Aztec has a popular tasting room next to the brewery, famous for not only its 14 beers on tap but also for open mike nights and live music from Thursday to Saturday. Food is supplied by a number of different food trucks. The tasting room is small but cozy and nicely decorated with Mexican art.
