I've been going to Californios for years and it just keeps getting better and better. Bravo to chef Val and the entire team.

What a special evening. From the moment we walked in the door, the staff was very attentive, welcoming, and knowledgeable. You could feel the love for California and Mexican heritage from the decor to the the ingredients to the serving dishes. The service was well-paced and the food was amazing and unique. Their savory flan, all three tacos, and ice cream were some of my personal favorites. Lot's of little surprises made my birthday experience warm and memorable. Louis, the GM, was a pleasure to talk with and he made us feel like VIPs. Meeting Chef Val and a few of the team members in the kitchen was the highlight of our night! We will definitely be back!

Terrific combination of elegance and relaxation. Nothing seemed rushed, the food just came out at a perfect pace. The bites were delicious. My favorite was the uni on a mushroom with some white truffle. The black cod taco was also exceptional. All of the servers seemed in sync a the dishes were explained clearly and concisely. We did the wine pairing and the sommeliers picked some exceptional wines, including the beer, kombucha and horchata. Will definitely be back (though lordy it was pricey!).

Great dining experience with wonderful vegetarian menu that gave us an amazing insight into Oaxacan cuisine.

The entire experience was impeccable. Every bite was delicious- my favorites were the fried fish taco and the uni dish (and until last night i didn't care for uni!). The drink pairing was generous, interesting and a perfect combination. We will definitely be back. Top notch and worth the splurge.

Best restaurant I have been to. My grandson and I were very impressed with staff, quality of food and the environment and decor. We will frequent the location in a seasonal basis as remanded by staff .
Jim
Very creative. One of my favorite restaurants. One of the best restaurants in the United States. Several dishes were outstanding. These are not dishes that I can make.
Absolutely perfect evening - with attention to the two vegetarian guests as well. The staff, the food, the ambience and the wine - all come together to give you San Francisco's best cal-mex farm-to-table experience. Definitely a go-to for that special night in your life.

Excellent experience from start to beginning. I loved every single item that came to the table!
Sherry
It was our first experience dining at your restaurant. The food was so amazing and delicious. Each course built on the next. The flavors brought back fond memories and it brought my husband to tears he was so moved. Thank you for a wonderful evening. We look forward to seeing you again soon. Best wishes. Happy Holidays. To a great 2026.

Scrumptious dinner in a warm and inviting environment. Innovative use of ingredients, love the sour dough tortilla fish taco in particular as well as the Hawaiian Kampachi with lemon cucumber sauce which had finger limes in it, so refreshing! Extremely generous helpings, I was so full by the end of the meal!
Michelle
Exceeded expectations. The concord grape shaved ice was probably the best dessert I've ever had in my life. Other highlights were the savory flan, rockfish taco, and uni mole. Staff were delightful to boot.
