About us
508 Tavern debuted in May 2017, originally opened by Vista native Shelly Kentner and Valley Center-raised Hector Estrada. After many years in the food and beverage industry, they set out to create something special for Shelly’s hometown — a place that felt quaint, personable, and full of flavor. The comfort-food-based menu draws inspiration from the dishes they grew up enjoying, paired with a rotating selection of 12 craft beer taps featuring local brews and favorites from afar. Today, Shelly proudly carries on the vision, welcoming everyone to experience the warm, hometown vibe that makes 508 Tavern a local favorite.
