La Taqueria opening new location

la-taqueria-75

7×7 reports:

La Taqueria, home of America’s best burrito, is opening up a second location on Thursday. But as splendid and amazing as this news is, you’ll be sad to know that the new location is in Turlock, a small town near Modesto and a two hour drive from San Francisco. The second restaurant will run by the owner’s daughter, Irene Gonzales, and will have the same recipes and secret menu as the original. There will also be more meats on the menu: al pastor, grilled chicken, and shrimp, as well as a shrimp cocktail (which just may be reason enough to make the trek). [link]

Turlock here we come!

Wise Sons closed this week; returning soon with ‘a more enjoyable guest experience’

Screen Shot 2016-07-18 at 4.21.21 PM

Wise Sons explains:

After almost 5 years in business, serving the Mission District 7 days a week, the restaurant is in need of a spiff. Although most of the improvements will be behind the scenes, upon re-opening the 24th Street Deli will be able to provide a more enjoyable guest experience with updated outdoor seating and slight changes to the main dining room. In addition to the cosmetic changes to the space, the deli will reopen with some new menu items, drinks specials and some shifts in management – more on that later!

They should be open again in “about a week.”

That’s a special “Red, White and Blue” burger (with blue cheese, red peppers and fried white onions), and down here are fried Katz’s full sour pickle pickle spears (with farm dressing), damn. All weekend long.
