Soul & Saffron is preparing to open in January 2027 at 2820 Historic Decatur Road, Suite 009, a new restaurant concept planned for San Diego's Liberty Station.
The name is out ahead of the food. Andrés Villasuso, listed in the LLC, told WhatNow San Diego, "We've been working on this new concept for some time, and the idea is to open in January." Cuisine, a menu, and the overall dining experience have not been announced. Public filings cited in that report place the restaurant at the Historic Decatur Road suite.
Liberty Station already runs as a destination with restaurants, retail businesses, and other attractions. The project is planned to introduce a new restaurant concept at that address.
Villasuso is also involved in Asado Gaucho, an Argentine barbecue project planned for The Headquarters in downtown San Diego. WhatNow reported it as a separate concept from Soul & Saffron. In an SDVoyager interview, he describes Asado Gaucho as a San Diego-based Argentine dining-experience catering company that serves the broader Southern California region. It offers four prix-fixe menus, each with four to seven meat courses, two or three sides, and two desserts.
The downtown barbecue plan and Suite 009 are not the same restaurant, and only Asado Gaucho has described what it serves.
