FUNNER, CA – Harrah’s Resort Southern California announced its latest culinary addition with Tierra y Mar, a new, elevated Mexican-inspired restaurant concept set to debut in summer 2026. The $10.7 million investment will create a new social dining destination, replacing the resort’s current seafood restaurant, Salt & Fin.
Tierra y Mar is designed as a comfortable gathering space suitable for a range of occasions, from small dinners to family meals and group celebrations. The concept focuses on creating a welcoming setting where guests can enjoy a quality dining experience.
“We know that memorable dining is a cornerstone of the guest experience here in Funner, which is why we’re incredibly excited to introduce this new concept,” said Jill Barrett, SVP and GM of Harrah’s Resort Southern California. “It fills a perfect space in our culinary lineup – offering an experience that is both sophisticated and fun.”
Tierra y Mar will feature authentic, vibrant flavors and dishes inspired by Baja California and Mexico’s diverse regions. Signature offerings will include Beef Birria, Camarones al Diablo, and Classic Pescado al Talla. Key features will include a lively, tequila-focused bar and an elegant private dining room designed for smaller group events and intimate gatherings.
“This investment underscores the Rincon Tribe’s continued commitment to enhancing Harrah’s Resort Southern California as a premier destination for the region,” said Rincon Tribal Chairman Steve Stallings. “We are creating a unique and authentic dining experience that celebrates rich culinary traditions in a modern, welcoming setting. We look forward to welcoming our community to this beautiful new space.”
Construction is underway as of mid-November 2025. As part of this strategic evolution of the resort’s dining portfolio, ‘ritas Cantina will also cease operations, consolidating the resort’s Mexican-style dining into one premier destination.
