"We head to this Oaxacan restaurant in the Mission whenever we need an immediate serotonin boost. Everything at this counter-service spot is bright and colorful, from the turquoise and pink walls to the papel picado hanging above the bar. Fun space aside, fantastic food is also why we love Donaji. There’s richly spiced mole over enchiladas, tacos on thick house-made tortillas, and crunchy, frisbee-sized tlayudas loaded with beef, queso, and avocado. Add in rotating agua frescas and gooey churro donuts and you’ve got a spot you’ll return to any time someone suggests grabbing a quick bite." - julia chen 1, ricky rodriguez
