We were going to go to Delfina but the crowd was too much, then I remembered I’d been wanting to try Lupulandia. 3 taco plate ($15) - 2 baja fried fish and 1 quesabirria; 3 pastor street tacos; guacamole and chips; passionfruit sour ale; delicious mocktail for the teen.
There is so much to like about this place, it’s funky, really spacious, they brew their own beers, have cocktails (including 2 slushy cocktails), the food is solid and the staff is really nice. I was asking about their beers and the bartender just poured me tastes of all three of their own brews and a taste of the slushy cocktail. Despite his warning that the passionfruit sour was really sour, it was actually well balanced and perfect on a hot SF night, He spent 5 minutes making my daughter a mocktail that was complex and delicious. Baja tacos were good, fresh fish, ton of shredded cabbage and crema - I should have asked for some lime though. Quesabirria taco was solid, nice pickled onions to balance some of the richness, Guacamole was really good and the chips seemed homemade. Al Pastor street tacos (3 for $10) were not very good - get the the 3 taco plate instead, more choices and better/bigger tacos. I was surprised at how little the bill was and looked at it when I got home and realized it was happy hour pricing at 6:45 on a Saturday night! who does that? So the beer, already a reasonable $7/pint was $6 and the 3 taco plate was $12 instead of $15. Will definitely be back.
