9 San Francisco Tamales Worth Adding to Your Wish List This Holiday Season

"Abraham Nunez, owner and founder of this Mission District and Excelsior pop-up, brought the tamale negro to the city in a big way. While his business looks to take over a space at the base of Bernal Heights in spring 2023, Nunez will pop up here and there (tune in to his Instagram to stay up-to-date) and might just be available to whip up a half-dozen or so tamales if you ask nicely." - Paolo Bicchieri

14 Underrated Neighborhood Gems in San Francisco

"This Excelsior neighborhood bar has a whiskey selection of more than 200 bottles to choose from and a warm and friendly staff. If you’re looking for something different, ask for rumple minze, a German liquor that leaves your mouth feeling minty fresh. And operating within the bar, Chicano Nuevo serves non-traditional bar food like squid ink tamales stuffed with shredded beef and fish tacos with salmon consomme." - Rob Willis

Hands down the best food (in any cuisine) I’ve ever had. So fresh and authentic. Amazing fish tacos, guacamole, tamales, and consommé. If ii haven’t tried Chicano Nuevo, you’re truly missing out!

Fabulous Fish Tacos!! Best in the Bay Area. I could come every day for them. They're served with a hot consommé chaser. Yum Buffalo wings are good too but the fish tacos are what bring me back every time

Fish tacos. That is all!!! Edit - the oysters… pretty awesome! Great quality and service to match. Bar up front has good selection of beers and whiskey. Worth a visit.

I'm from Southern California and miss the Mexican food down there. Bay Area comida just doesn't cut it sometimes. But Chicano Nuevo takes me back there. Abraham the owner grew up in Tijuana and San Diego so he knows how to make Mexican food the way I like it. The fish tacos and the guacamole are my favorite but the chicken and potato taquitos (called rolled tacos or flautas here) are also top notch. I don't eat pork or beef but my wife enjoyed the carnitas. The selection isn't extensive because it's a popup but they cover the basics: chicken, fish, beef, pork, and vegetarian. Try it and see what the Bay Area has been missing

On point. Not a bad dish in the house. Quality and insanely delicious. Great patio and bar up front.
