EVERYBODY HAS A STORY
The first thing many people notice about The Hacienda Mission San Luis Rey isn't a program, a class, or even the view of the historic Mission next door. It's the feeling. "When we finally got to get in the building, we were so excited," one resident recalls. "I walked in that lobby and looked up and just thought, This is going to be amazing." Years later, the feeling hasn't faded. "Every time I walk in, it's like, wow, I'm home." Walk through the community on any given day and you'll find residents teaching, learning, volunteering, and sharing passions that have followed them throughout their lives. One resident leads a weekly conversational Spanish class. Another hosts music appreciation sessions. Others organize travel groups, coordinate cultural experiences, or introduce neighbors to new hobbies and interests. The result is a community shaped not only by the people who live there, but by what they continue to contribute. "Everybody has a story," one resident says simply. At The Hacienda, those stories don't end at retirement. In
many ways, they expand. The community's unique relationship with Mission San Luis Rey plays a role in that. Residents regularly walk the Mission grounds and trails, attend events and services, volunteer, and remain connected to a living piece of California history. "The idea is that if we can help you find purpose from volunteering at the Mission or volunteering at a ranch, we're doing many other activities that maybe at home they have to drive to," explains one team member. "We try to find those things they can access easily." That sense of purpose often arrives alongside something else: freedom. After years spent maintaining homes, managing responsibilities, and keeping up with endless to-do lists, many residents discover
they have more time to focus on what they actually enjoy.
One resident remembers feeling lonely before moving to The Hacienda, often waiting for visits from family members who couldn't come as often as either side hoped. Today, her days are filled with activities, outings, friendships, and concerts. Ironically, when family began visiting more frequently, she found herself needing to fit them into her increasingly busy schedule. That active lifestyle is supported by a wide range of member-led opportunities, from pickleball and trivia to karaoke, Song Swap gatherings, game nights, and dedicated men's and women's groups. Wellness programs range from calming movement classes to high energy favorites like Drum Fit. "Ethan's classes are wonderful," one resident says with a laugh. "He goes from very calm and soothing and then bam — we're doing the YMCA and wild stuff."
The community's approach is rooted in a philosophy of Mind, Body, Spirit, and Community, creating opportunities for residents to stay engaged intellectually, physically, socially,
ASSISTED LIVING
and emotionally. It also provides reassurance when life changes. Independent Living, Assisted Living, Memory Care, and short term stays are all available on one campus. For families navigating health challenges, that continuity can be invaluable. "My husband lives here in Memory Care," one resident shares. "Things change and life happens." That understanding runs throughout the community. Residents often describe The Hacienda as family. Staff members build meaningful relationships, listen closely, and support people through life's transitions. Dining is another
point of pride, with four distinct restaurants offering experiences residents often compare to fine dining. Perhaps that's why so many visitors leave with the same impression. Not simply that The Hacienda is beautiful — though it is. Not simply that it offers exceptional amenities — though it does. But that it is full of energy and possibility. A place filled with people pursuing new interests, forming meaningful friendships, sharing stories, and discovering that the next chapter may be even richer than they expected.
MEMORY CARE
NEIGHBORHOOD SPORTSBAR YOUR NEW favorite YOUR NEW favorite
Junkyard Sports Bar & Grill has been a beloved Oceanside hangout for years. So when it came up for sale two years ago, two regulars saw exactly what the neighborhood was missing: something sexier, sharper, and unmistakably North County.
Julie Lowen, winner of the San Diego Small Businesswoman award for her company Children’s Paradise, already
owned ten childcare centers in North County and was a faithful regular at Junkyard’s karaoke night. The host of that karaoke, Tarrion “TJ” Mason, had been behind the booth there for nearly a decade, part of a 30-plus-year run as a DJ across North County. Between them, they knew exactly what the area needed: a fun place with that “Cheers” everyone-knows-your-name vibe.
Joining the effort was Chef Daniel England, a hospitality veteran whose career has included Culinary Director roles across multiple San Diego restaurant groups, including his current post for Children’s Paradise. Chef Daniel teamed with Chef Alex Valencia to design Junkyard’s menu from the ground up. Soon after, Alex took the helm as general manager, with Daniel staying on to shape the kitchen’s direction.
“We did a full renovation, expanded into the suite next door, added a second bar, a pool table, and a stage,” Daniel said. The tired neighborhood
dive gave way to something with serious character: antique gas pumps standing guard, the original Talladega raceway sign – yes, the one that used to greet drivers off the freeway – anchoring the room, and vintage sports jerseys lining the walls. Additionally, they built a hub cap wall fit for Instagram, an entire feature wall, and a set of tables fashioned from massive antique electrical spools, as well as a spectacular TV layout designed by Tarrion himself. And the men’s room? Beer-keg urinals. Naturally.
Tarrion leads the front of house and entertainment. Alex runs day-today operations as general manager, handling ordering, staffing, scheduling, inventory management, vendor relations, and ensuring the restaurant runs smoothly every single day. Daniel, drawing on decades in hospitality, sets the culinary direction while also handling events and marketing, all the time keeping the whole machine running. Julie handles the business side, though, as she puts it with a laugh, “everyone tells me my actual job is just to be sexy.”
The food matches the vibe. “We
pride ourselves in making as much as we can from scratch, sourcing local ingredients and staying true to an elevated American sports bar menu,” Daniel said. “We wanted to get away from frozen, microwaved, and everything coming from a fryer. Just as much thought and care goes into our cocktails – every cocktail (or mocktail) is made with the same attention to quality and creativity. We also feature an extensive whiskey and tequila selection along with 24 rotating taps, so there’s a beer for everyone.”
Then there’s the calendar, with something for every kind of night out: Latin Night on Tuesday, Trivia and Karaoke on Wednesday, Boots In the Yard for line dancers on Thursday. Friday brings live music from 6 to 9, then the floor flips to old-school R&B and hip-hop at 9. Saturday opens with karaoke at 7, then rolls into top 40 and old school until close.
And at the heart of it all is the sports. The Super Bowl gets a full-blown party. “I knew we were going to be a sports
bar even though we offer all the other stuff, too,” Daniel said. A huge sports enthusiast and fan himself, Daniel added, “When the whole bar’s engaging with a live sporting event and people are cheering, I love that. It’s electric! If you want a game on, we’ll find it.”
BRUNCH VOTED BEST
But above all, the owners say, it’s the incredible staff that truly makes Junkyard great. “Our team is the heart and soul of this place,” they share. “From the kitchen to the bar to the floor, their energy, dedication, and talent turn Junkyard into the special spot it is every single day.”
To be only two years out and already winning Best Sports Bar and Best Brunch in Best of North County is a huge accomplishment—and Julie, Tarrion, and Daniel couldn’t be prouder. “From
where we were two and a half years ago to where we are now,” Daniel said, “all that hard work is finally paying off.”
For Julie, the through-line is simple. “I built a Children’s Paradise,” she says with a smile. “Now it’s time for an Adult Paradise.”
TASTE THE DIFFERENCE for us, food is everything
| EVENTS |
At 2051 Cucina Italiana, dining has become about more than simply serving a meal. The family-run restaurant has built its reputation around hospitality, fresh-made cuisine, and creating an atmosphere where guests feel encouraged to slow down, gather together, and enjoy the experience.
That philosophy traces back to the restaurant’s beginnings. 2051 Cucina Italiana was created by childhood friends Simone Vezzali and Giacomo Giovanetti, who shared a longtime dream of opening a restaurant together. The pair opened 2051 Cucina Italiana in February 2021, building the restaurant around the traditions and flavors tied closely to their Italian heritage.
“Our main focus, alongside the quality of the food, has always been taking care of our patrons, making them feel welcome at all times and creating the ‘feel-at-home’ atmosphere typical of our roots,” said Simone and Giacomo.
That approach has helped make 2051 Cucina Italiana a standout destination in Carlsbad and a fitting host for this year’s Best of North County celebration on July 17, where

Pasta is prepared fresh daily, along with many of the sauces and traditional Italian dishes featured throughout the menu. Rather than relying on shortcuts or premade ingredients, the kitchen has focused on creating meals that reflect the care and craftsmanship associated with traditional Italian family cooking.
That dedication to freshness is deeply intentional for the owners, who emphasize the importance of product selection, traditional preparation, and respecting the origins of the dishes they create. Homemade pasta remains one of the pillars of the restaurant’s cuisine, with recipes that directly reflect the cultural background and traditions of Simone and Giacomo.

local businesses and community members have gathered to recognize the region’s award winners.
While the event has brought additional energy to the restaurant, the qualities that made 2051 Cucina Italiana an ideal venue have already been central to the business
That commitment to quality has helped shape the guest experience from the moment diners arrive. The restaurant balances polished presentation with an inviting environment that feels lively without becoming overly formal. Guests have been drawn not only to the food itself, but also to the atmosphere surrounding it that feels equally suited for date nights, family dinners, celebrations, and larger community gatherings.
Family influence continues shaping nearly every aspect of the business. Hospitality remains a major priority, with the restaurant emphasizing attentive service and a dining experience built around connection and comfort. That philosophy reflects the broader tradition of Italian dining, where
The menu itself reinforces that approach. Fresh pasta dishes, Italian specialties, and carefully prepared ingredients all work together to create an experience centered on quality and consistency. Among the dishes that most strongly represent the restaurant’s roots are the homemade tortellini, a specialty closely connected to the owners’ EmiliaRomagna region of Italy.
As guests have gathered throughout the day for the Best of North County celebration, the restaurant’s atmosphere has naturally complemented the spirit of the event. Conversations, networking, and celebrations have unfolded in a setting already designed around bringing people together.
Over the past several years, 2051 Cucina Italiana has become part of the local dining community, building a loyal following through hospitality, consistency, and an experience designed to feel personal rather than transactional. The restaurant has continued building a loyal following by focusing on all these traits.
Restaurants often become woven into the identity of the communities they serve, particularly when they create spaces where people return repeatedly for celebrations, milestones, and shared experiences. That sense of connection has become an important part of what defines 2051 Cucina Italiana.
