The Best Things We Ate This Week - San Francisco - The Infatuation

"Dish: Yuca con chicharrón The yuca con chicharrón at the upscale Salvadoran restaurant Popoca in Old Oakland should be the eighth Wonder of the World. The fried yuca is crispy on the outside and pillow-y soft on the inside. It’s paired with fall-apart pork belly chicharrón that’s topped with slightly sour curtido and this triple threat: bacalao mayo, small crispy fish, and salsa criolla. At all costs, get on your table now. " - Julia Chen 1, Ricky Rodriguez
