Where To Impress Someone Without Looking Like You’re Trying Too Hard - San Francisco - The Infatuation

"A lot of prix fixe and tasting menu places blend together. The food might be incredible, but you know up front that you’re signing up for white tablecloths and a small menu that includes the hot new mushroom of the week and some sort of bird that’s not quite chicken, but is pretty much chicken. This isn’t the case at Mr. Pollo. Imagine if you gave a bunch of mid-90s skateboarders a stove to cook on, a can of spray paint to decorate, and a questionable liquor license to draw people in, and that’s this spot in a nutshell. For $30, you get four courses that usually include a salad, an arepa, some sort of protein, and a dessert, all of which add up to one of the more memorable meals you’ll eat this year." - will kamensky
