The Best Tacos and Taquerias in San Francisco | Eater SF

"This Design District restaurant earned a reputation for its excellent Guanajuatan cuisine and its rich pozole verde. But it’s also a great spot for carnitas tacos: slow-roasted local pork shoulder piled onto tortillas made with fresh masa from Oakland’s La Finca Tortilleria." - Paolo Bicchieri

Best Mexican Restaurants in San Francisco | Eater SF

"El Pipila is one of the city’s few restaurants specializing in the cuisine of chef Guadalupe Guerrero’s home region of Guanajuato, known for dishes such as red sauce-soaked enchiladas mineras (a traditional lunch for miners) and rich, spicy stewed nopales. The pozole verde, served with thick handmade tortillas, is one of the best versions in the city. The restaurant even began selling burritos for the first time in 2020. Online orders are accepted." - Paolo Bicchieri

Popular Pop-Up El Pípila Opens Permanent Restaurant in SoMa - Eater SF

"El Pípila, from chef Guadalupe Guerrero, has opened at 879 Brannan Street. Along with her two daughters, Brenda and Alejandra, Guerrero is serving the cuisine of Guanajuato, Mexico. The menu consists of larger plates like Guerrero’s extremely popular pozole verde, enchiladas, carnitas, and chile rellenos, plus tacos, salads, and sides. Opening a restaurant in San Francisco is a challenge, even for restaurants with plenty of investors and capital to get started; despite the community’s support, it took five years of effort to open El Pípila." - Ellen Fort
