Bombera is...

...a firewoman.

...a full-service restaurant where chef Dominica Rice Cisneros and historian Carlos Manuel Salomon turn lessons from ancestors and elders into a loving place for family, friends, and community.

...where the culinary ways of Mexico and California intersect with the environmental urgencies of our time.

...committed to social action in our communities.

...a tribute to Oakland’s beautiful history and people.

...a protector of the sacred flame of maíz

By Paloma Martinez-Cruz and Carlos Manuel Salomon
