You know I’m a sucker for the large solitary ice cube in cocktails. I think it’s really classy and it melts more slowly so your drink doesn’t get too watery. Mmm! $9
Padrecito, San Francisco CA
Crimson columbine (Aquilegia formosa, Ranunculaceae), Purisima Creek Redwoods Open Space Preserve.
Black beans, mixed chicories, arbol-strawberry marmalade and dry jack. $12

Omg, these tacos were SO delicious! All the ingredients were perfect and it was really pretty to look at. The marmalade and whiskey worked perfectly with the rich duck. I want more – NOMS!
Thimbleberry flower (Rubus parviflorus, Rosaceae), Purisima Creek Redwoods Open Space Preserve.
Blanco tequila, mezcal, lime, agave. $9
Padrecito, San Francisco CA
It’s unfortunate that this cocktail bears the name of the restaurant because it wasn’t very good. The cocktail was overly sour and had muddled flavors – not a fan…
Washington Square Park Firefighters Memorial, North Beach.
Mango, avocado, chipotle-agave salsita and blue corn chips. $15
Padrecito, San Francisco CA
Hmm, this isn’t what I expected when I saw “yellowtail crudo” on the menu. It’s ok becuase this actually tasted pretty good. I would have preferred if there was less mango so that you could properly taste the yellowtail though.

Rye, sparkling apple, maple syrup, bitters, lemon. $10
Padrecito, San Francisco CA
I like most of the specialty drinks at Padrecito. The bartenders seem to know what they’re doing and the drinks are creative and delicious.
San Francisco Marina Yacht Harbor.
Crispy pork skin and fava bean-pepita “sikil pak”. $10
Padrecito, San Francisco CA
Wow, these were the BEST chincharrones I’ve had in a long time! They arrived at the table straight from the fryer so they were still crackling and lively. The pork skins were SO light and airy and perfect. The sikil pak dip was new to me. It had a great flavor and texture and I loved the sunflower seeds.
