It has sadden us that one of our members has passed away. Alfonso Ortiz he passed away last Friday he was one of the original members he loved the club. Our deepest condolence to his family.
Help us promote our rich Puerto Rican culture by becoming involved with the House of Puerto Rico, San Diego! The idea for a House of Puerto Rico in Balboa Park started in October 1972.

A group of San Diego Puerto Ricans led by Doña Casilda Pagan joined forces and organized ”La Casa de Puerto Rico.” After many years of fundraising, planning and hard work this vision is now a dream come true. The House of Puerto Rico Cottage Museum was inaugurated on Saturday, February 4, 2006.
Mission: Our mission is to: To promote a better understanding amongst people of all nationalities and races. To promote and cultivate the Puerto Rican culture and social activities with its members.
