They’re taking over the El Zocalo space, right on Mission Street, a little closer to the Mision. It’ll be bigger, and it’ll have a bigger menu too. Bernalwood, which claims this new Emmy’s location will complete the Bernal/La Lengua Liminal Zone ”Bermuda Triangle of Yum,” has the scoop:
Restauranteur Emmy Kaplan, a native of the neighborhood and a fixture in the local culinary scene since opening her original location 13 years ago, is excited about both expanding the restaurant’s square footage as well as helping preserve the character of the neighborhood by remaining at the juncture of the Mission and Bernal Heights.
“The current location of the Shack is over capacity, the lines are long and we’re constantly turning away large parties,” says Kaplan. “I’m really looking forward to sharing more of what we love with the people who love us with more legroom for our regulars and new friends as well.”
Yeah I popped in at about 8:30 last night and there were five parties waiting ahead of me. On a Tuesday! (So I went to PizzaHacker.)
Read on for lots more on Emmy’s, and what’s happening with El Zocalo.
It fucking sucks that El Zocalo is going away.
The neighborhood is just getting whiter and whiter and whiter. Fewer options and blander food.
it would be difficult to describe the food at Emily’s as bland; and it is not like there is a dire shortage of mexican food in the area.
It’s pretty fucking bland.
And El Zocolo wasn’t “Mexican” food.
(You’re whiteness is showing)
Don’t let these white folks get your tampon in a twist.
Greg is a very masculine name
DAMN RIGHT KILL WHITEY!!!
*hug*
It’ll be ok!
I’m pretty sure that there are options for seafood or pupusas within two blocks in either direction on Mission Street. And dozens of options if your mobility is not impaired and can expand your radius of possibilities.
You know what’s really bland? Angry race-baiters longing to turn back the clock.
Blaming all your troubles on “whitey” is a loser’s game.
It’s true because “whitey” won’t listen and “whitey’s” in charge. Better just do what he says, right?
Anyone who reduces all their options to either whining about “The Man”, or doing what what he or she conceives of as “The Man’s” bidding… truly has the soul of a self-defeating Born Loser.
Keep trying on that aphorism.
Why gild the lily? Self-evident is self-evident. Thanks for the support, though.
Says the white dude…
Of course you’ve created a wonderful straw man as few would conceive of their lives in that binary. It’s more likely that you reduce the complex struggles of those around you to those two things and then feel smug in your privilege.
bitch please
Ouch… nail in the coffin for El Amigo happy hour crowd.
Holy Crap! The Zoc is closing! This is a disaster!
Viva Los Panchos!!!
I don’t think I could ever eat anywhere with “____hacker” in the name.
I for one shed no tears for racist establishments.
El Zocolo? Meh, worst service possible and mediocre pupusas. I think I’ll live.
La Lengua is just getting yummier and yummier.
