La Corneta opened its doors on September 13, 1995 in 2834 Diamond Street in Glen Park. The owner, Joel Campos, with the help of his family, found a small spot in a wonderful neighborhood. The aim of Joel Campos was to offer fresh and delicious food with good prices and service in a fast manner. Shelley Masters, a renowned artist, was a key element in the design and appearance of the restaurant. Her murals were one of the main factors for which the restaurant stood out.

The Mission district is known for being the Latino heart of San Francisco. It’s filled with numerous restaurants, but mostly taquerias and Mexican eateries. The competition was going to be tough since many had been there for decades. However, the owner decided to open its second location right between 23rd and 24th on Mission Street. Some were pessimistic about the chances of succeeding there, knowing that in the neighboring 10 blocks there were already more than twenty five Mexican restaurants.
