Californios

One of our top dining experiences. The vibe of the entire experience was spectacular from the dark yet vibrant decor, the background music selection, the colorful plating selections that made the food visually pop, and to the careful and detailed food presentation. Just stunning - all of my senses were dancing in delight. The staff is incredibly friendly and the chefs top notch. The taco courses were our favorite. The entire progression was exceptional and well executed.

That was a delightful experience. The most important: the food was amazing. Crab with caviar, spiny lobster, rock fish and short ribs were the top highlights for me. My date enjoyed the Mezcal flight, and I loved the non-alcoholic pairing. Everyone was a top profesional making our experience even more so wonderful. The dishes were three bites at most, but I was so full after that dinner. Of course, it was also very beautifully presented. Expensive, but definitely worth it.

5 star! We had a limited time in the bay area, and we were really having a hard time choosing among singlethread, californios, and a few others. We are so glad we chose Californios as we believe. It is probably a lot more memorable on the culinary side than the others would have been. I am a lactose free vegetarian/ shellfish free pescatarian, and they accommodated my dietary needs amazingly well. My husband eats absolutely everything and he enjoyed his meal thoroughly. There was not a single dish here that was a “miss,” which we experience sometimes in tasting menus. The only downside obviously is it’s location in the mission. We definitely prefer this to be in another area 🤣… the vanilla extract they leave as a parting gift is a beautiful plus. Really we could not choose which courses w

Absolutely stunning meal and one of my top fine dining experiences ever. I’m admittedly unsure of whether this is because I’m experiencing a bit of fine dining fatigue where it comes to French or Italian-leaning cuisines, so a Mexican dining experience was so exciting and refreshing to have. I discussed with my partner and everything was a hit - there was nothing we didnt like. I loved the black cod taco and the bite called “Bocol” the best - who knew something could be so delicious. I’ll give it overall 5 stars but I do think there were a few service hiccups that I think should be ironed out and perhaps just needs a bit more training for the front of house staff - our first drink listed on the menu was simply forgotten until I brought it up after we were a few courses in, the wrong mock

One of the best meals I've had. It was like being transported back to Mexico City and experiencing one of the greatest fine dining meals from there, but we never had to leave San Francisco! Absolutely amazing experience through out, from the luxe, modern entry and bar, to the perfectly executed cocktails, to the impeccable delivery of each course. I think at the end of the night there were 14 courses, each were delicate and beautiful, but packed a memorable taste and texture that the photos can't do justice to.
