Jorge Cortez, whose parents founded the iconic Mi Tierra restaurant at Market Square in downtown San Antonio, died Monday at the age of 81, La Familia Cortez Restaurants said.

SAN ANTONIO – Mi Tierra is trying to console San Antonio by selling “Fiesta Survival Kits” after the city’s biggest party was postponed due to the coronavirus crisis. With Fiesta postponed to Nov. 5-15, La Familia Cortez Restaurants is offering meals at a time when the city would normally be preparing for the 11-day, citywide party. “The phrase ‘Fiesta responsibly’ has taken on a whole new meaning this year,” the restaurant group said in a news release.
