"It brings Mexican food back into a space last occupied by Tamarindo, a pioneering restaurant that, as a Mexican-owned Mexican spot serving amazing craft cocktails and hard-to-find regional dishes, 'really did a lot to open up the possibilities for Mexican food in the Bay Area,' Zigas explains. (The space is now divided into two separate restaurants, with La Guerrera’s taking over the smaller 'Loncheria' side, which Tamarindo had operated as a more casual lunch counter during the daytime.)" - Luke Tsai
