Menú Azteca is a culinary celebration intended to honor the Aztec culture. In collaboration with SDSU's Aztec Identity Initiative, Menú Azteca provides choices that are authentic to or inspired by the indigenous Mexica people (known as Aztecs) and the ancestral homes of the greater Aztec Empire (including Oaxaca, Mexico).

Four chefs from SDSU Dining, SDSU Catering, and 386 Hospitality at Snapdragon Stadium were part of an SDSU culinary delegation to Oaxaca in 2023.
They trained with some of the most renowned chefs in the region, with the plan to bring new, Oaxacan-inspired recipes and techniques back to SDSU and Snapdragon Stadium.
The trip was designed to significantly diversify SDSU’s culinary offerings and contribute to the university’s mission to “Transcend Borders.”
