Fonda
We didn’t know anything about this place at all, but we were waiting for our table to be ready at Ambassadors Clubhouse, so this right next to it so we decided to grab a drink while we were waiting. It was a Mexican restaurant and the cocktail menu had a lot of interesting looking tequila…

Tacolicious – Noe Valley
We wanted to grab a quick lunch in our neigborhood and headed to Todo El Dia, but it looks as though they rebranded it as Tacolicious who owned them anyway. I think Todo El Dia was a slightly more casual concept since now they are doing direct table service (before it was more place your…

Elena’s
We had the cleaners scheduled at the house so we decided to take a late brunch here at Elena’s. We didn’t have a reservation, but based on our previous visits, we figured we’d be able to just walk in without much trouble. We were surprised to see that it was near full even at the…

Elena’s
It had been awhile since we had been here so I booked a reservation for Sunday noon. It was mostly full, but only one party waiting to get seated, so we probably could have walked in and there were plenty of seats at the bar. We were seated promptly after checking in and amusingly we…

Californios
We were celebrating Andrea’s birthday at her favorite restaurant. This was our seventh time here, but surprisingly we hadn’t been here in a year…when we were celebrating her b-day last year! We both ordered cocktails, which didn’t arrive until our 4th course/bite. Andrea had the Californios Martini and I had the Cantarito. The martini was…

Elena’s Mexican Restaurant
I had booked this reservation 3 months ago and because this restaurant was so popular, this was the soonest I was able to book for a weekend brunch. Of course, we had since come here as walk-ins, once for lunch during the work week and once for dinner. Since we had the reservation, we decided…

Elena’s Mexican Restaurant
Just decided last minute to try a walk-in at Elena’s since we really enjoyed our lunch here awhile ago and wanted to see what dinner was like. We were told we’d have a 45 minute wait, so we went to the bar and ordered some margaritas. Andrea had the spicy watermelon (jalapeno tequila and mezcal)…

Elena’s Mexican Restaurant
I wasn’t jam packed with meetings today so we both had a little extra window to grab some lunch. I recommended we try out Elena’s in West Portal since they opened up in February. There’s a lot of buzz around this restaurant since it’s opening. It’s owned by the same couple (Elena and John) behind…

Californios
It was Andrea’s birthday so I booked dinner at her favorite restaurant Californios. This is our 5th timing dining here and it 4th time since 2022 (first time we ate at their previous location when they were still in the Mission). We last ate here in November, before it trip to Mexico City and Oaxaca,…

Dalida
For tonight’s dinner, we went to Dalida. We’ve been meaning to eat here for a few months, but I’ve had to keep pushing out the reservation, but we finally made it. Chef Laura is also in the current season of Top Chef, although we haven’t yet watched the latest episode (the infamous restaurant wars), so…
