The 20 Best Outdoor Dining Spots In SF - San Francisco - The Infatuation

"Cascading waterfalls and a colossal fountain—no, you’re not at the pearly gates. It’s the patio at Xica in Levi’s Plaza. The entirely gluten-free Mexican spot is feel-good personified. Grab a table in the sun next to an oversized palm, and let the sounds of water evaporate any stress caused by the latest news cycle. You’ll dine on vegetable tacos on dragon fruit-infused tortillas, fried egg-topped chilaquiles, and sizable rice bowls topped with carnitas while listening to upbeat music. Do the right thing and come here with friends, co-workers, and anyone looking for tranquility at dinner or a weekday morning." - lani conway, julia chen 1, ricky rodriguez, patrick wong
