Noe Valley, San Francisco · restaurant
A Mexican counter-service spot where nearly every item can be made vegan without feeling like an afterthought, built around a format that lets you mix proteins, tortillas, and bowls across a surprisingly long list of options. The Steak & Shrimp Al Diablo hits spicy and satisfying, the Al Pastor comes with both smoky chile and grilled pineapple salsas, and the Birriaquiles bring slow-braised beef birria into tortilla chips tossed in creamy chile sauce. Churro waffles with Mexican cajeta caramel make skipping dessert hard to justify.
