Californios is the only two MICHELIN-Starred Mexican restaurant in the United States, and once you experience chef/owner Val Cantu's singular approach to fine dining, it's easy to see why. Cantu and his team take great care to explore the full breadth of Mexican cuisine using local ingredients at the highest professional level, resulting in creations like squab tacos in sourdough tortillas. The tasting menu surprises and delights, and enjoying it in the vibey SoMa space is a Bay Area fine-dining experience not to be missed.
