Las Mestizas

"Las Mestizas made the move from the Mission to the Marina last year, bringing its Yucatan specialties along for the ride. The cochinita pibil and poc chuc are the specialties here, and the tacos are the perfect way to highlight both styles of meat." - Paolo Bicchieri, Dianne de Guzman, Eater Staff

"Las Mestizas, located at 2280 Chestnut Street in San Francisco, is a destination for the cuisine of the Yucatan Peninsula. The restaurant specializes in cochinita pibil, a dish where pork is marinated in sour oranges, achiote, garlic, and other spices, then wrapped in banana leaves and slow-cooked. Another signature dish is poc chuc, which is similar to carne asada but uses pork. Mexican breakfast options are also available, and they are working on obtaining a liquor license. Originally located at 3471 Mission Street, the restaurant moved to the Marina due to landlord issues. Las Mestizas is open daily from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m., with extended hours until 10 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays." - Lauren Saria
