Mexican street eats & cocktails in a sports-themed space
"This Mexican restaurant in the Inner Sunset doubles as a place to get loud over a particularly intense sports game. Because, scientifically speaking, there’s no better way to soothe your throat after shouting expletives at people on a screen than with many rounds of margaritas. As far as food goes, this place has a standard menu of tacos, burritos, and quesadillas—but the highlight is the Nick’s Way taco with your choice of meat, a crispy tortilla inside of a soft one, and a boatload of guacamole." - lani conway, julia chen 1, patrick wong

"This set of Sunset shops popped up on the list last year, as it does this year, for good reason. Though the original Underdog Taco on Irving has closed, Underdogs Tres on 9th Avenue and its Outer Sunset companion are family-friendly cantinas to grab a taco Nick’s Style – deep fried – with a high-end tequila." - Paolo Bicchieri
"A 12-year-old surf-Mexican spot that I know was popular with sports fans, SF State students, and fans of its crispy tacos, the Taco Shop at Underdogs concluded its Irving Street lease during the pandemic and closed on December 20; Underdogs Too is a spinoff of that spot, and owner Doug Marschke plans to reopen in the Inner Sunset in the space most recently occupied by Nopalito, though he has not said how the December 15 fire will affect those plans." - Eve Batey
"Planned for Ninth Avenue in the Inner Sunset, the new sit-down restaurant and bar will move the Underdogs concept into a much larger, more restaurant-forward space—the former Nopalito—with a bigger kitchen, a heated outdoor patio and curb space for activity in front. The menu will expand on the California-meets-Mexico theme with new items like enchiladas and tortas and a more expansive brunch; the plan is to open as soon as the Department of Public Health and Alcoholic Beverage Control allow (targeting early 2021), doing only superficial interior fixes and adding the big screens the brand is known for." - Eve Batey
