"At some point during your visit to this Spanish taberna in the Mission, you’ll be handed a porrón and invited to take a stream of vino blanco straight to the mouth. That’s one way El Chato keeps the good times going. There’s also a stacked calendar of pop-ups, themed parties, and live bands who usually play under the dangling jamón-shaped lights. After one glass of wine turns into five and conversations border on screaming matches, don’t be surprised when the windows start to get a little foggy." - julia chen 1, patrick wong, lani conway, ricky rodriguez
