"Good Luck Gato is a new Oakland spot meshing Mexican and Japanese drinking culture together in what it’s dubbing an “izakaya cantina” from the teams behind Low Bar and Hopscotch. Dine on dishes such as the uni butter elote, hamachi tartare crudo, and a black sesame chocotaco. On the drink side of things, get boozy with the Emerald Zone, which merges nori-infused tequila blanco with mezcal and Suze for sunomono-like flavor." - Dianne de Guzman
