Son of Wolf opened recently next to the Palo Alto Sol space on Cal Ave. Its from the same team.
Aguachile- not very hot. More salty than lime-y. Peeled Shrimp was chewy. The Chile oil was nice. Purple potato chips mop up the aguachile. So-so dish.
La pierna de cien anos. Carnitas braised in negra Modelo tasted nice and complex. Most were tender but some pieces were tough. The gigante beans were a little bland.
Corn tortilla made from masa with huatlacoche. Very good- slightly sweet and earthy. Especially great in mopping up and combining with the negra Modelo sauce. Best flavors of the evening.
What’s that in the dish?
Beware of the Sheep, a mezcal-based cocktail
Overall, the meal was a bit mixed. Some high points- the tortillas were very good with the modelo sauce, but some mehs as well. Given the price point, I am not in a hurry to go back, but I am curious about their other dishes. Anyone been? Nice looking space.

I’ve only had aguachile a few times, and with the exception of pretty hot by the pound stuff at Cardenas Markets, it usually makes me search for a fire extinguisher (or saltines in the case of Mariscos Jalisco in LA).
