The 18 Best Restaurants In The Castro - San Francisco - The Infatuation

"No one in San Francisco says, “I want Mexican food, let's go to the Castro.” But Zona Rosa has changed that. This casual taqueria stands out for its smoky, slow-cooked meats, seriously spicy salsa, and creamy horchata. Focus on the simple El Jefe tacos, with just onion, cilantro, lime, and a choice of meat. While you could fill yours with chewy carnitas, al pastor, or chorizo, the best options are the carne asada drenched in fiery chile de arbol sauce and the chile verde chicken in a tangy green salsa." - lani conway, julia chen 1, ricky rodriguez
