Haight-Ashbury, San Francisco · restaurant
Caribbean tapas in a loud, colorful room on upper Haight that has been running since 1984 and earned official Legacy Business status from the city. Order in rounds: Cajun shrimp with spicy cream sauce, jerk chicken, platanos maduros, and if the table is hungry, a paella mixta. Then get a pitcher of sangria and settle in.
