WHO WE ARE

Aztec Shops, Ltd., founded in 1931, is a non-profit corporation that functions primarily as an auxiliary of San Diego State University. As a "self-sustaining" non-profit SDSU auxiliary, Aztec Shops operates without subsidy from the University or the State. The corporation manages a diverse portfolio of services including operation of the SDSU Bookstore, SDSU Dining, SDSU Conference Services, SDSU Licensing, and Commercial and Residential Real Estate properties surrounding campus.

In Fiscal Year 2024 (ending June 30, 2024), Aztec Shops directed $14.7 million to the University through rent, cost recoveries, commissions, and overhead. In addition, Aztec Shops contributed $370,000 to Campus in unrestricted allocations ($310,000 to the University; $60,000 to SDSU Associated Students).

Aztec Shops Oaxaca Culinary Immersion

Chefs from SDSU Dining, SDSU Catering, and 386 Hospitality at Snapdragon Stadium participate in recurring culinary delegations to Oaxaca.

The chefs train with some of the most renown culinary professionals in the region, bringing new, Oaxacan-inspired recipes and techniques back to SDSU and Snapdragon Stadium. These cultural immersions are designed to significantly diversify SDSU’s culinary offerings and contribute to the University’s mission to “Transcend Borders”.

Menú Azteca is now available for ordering through SDSU Catering as well as Catering and Suites at Snapdragon Stadium. The ultimate intention is to increasingly offer some items from the menu at everyday locations available to the public both on campus and at the stadium.
