"Bathroom selfies are de rigeur at Media Noche, a fast-casual Cubano counter in the Mission. Scroll through Instagram, and the location is instantly recognizable (no geotag necessary) thanks to the banana-patterned wallpaper and black-and-white tiles. The rest of the design by studio ROY is easy on the eyes, too." - Dianne de Guzman, Caleb Pershan
"The Mission District fast casual spot is offering an off-menu freebie to voters: with any purchase from the restaurant’s menu, folks with “I voted” stickers can get a free order of their “fuego fries” served with a side of green sauce." - Eve Batey
"Media Noche offers Cuban cuisine for pickup and delivery." - Eve Batey
"Design drives customers’ choices and shapes their experience: Emily points to ROY-designed restaurant Media Noche, whose colorful tiles tempt customers through the door (often for photos on Instagram, providing further exposure for the business). '[Design] sets the stage to charge what you want for food,' says Emily. 'It’s a way to add value beyond food and service.'" - Caleb Pershan
"Every month, the Mission’s Media Noche brings on a chef friend to create a special cubano with their own unique flair, with 10 percent of proceeds going to a charity of their choice. In March, the Media Noche team is doing something a little different. Instead of a Chef’s Cubano, it’ll serve a People’s Cubano, as envisioned by a diner and benefitting that diner’s chosen charity. Folks can either fill out a card at the restaurant or email Casey@MediaNocheSF.com with their name, phone number, cubano idea, and charity by January 31 for a chance to win." - Janelle Bitker
