    In the meantime, the Chroniclers headed out to El Porvenir, San Diego's oldest taco shop, which started in 1918 as a one-room tortilla factory. After a few years of making chile rellenos only on Fridays, they finally started rolling up tortillas on a daily basis with their homemade, slow-cooked carnitas in the 1950s.

    Second oldest is probably the Chop Suey Peking Restaurant, which started in 1931.
