Going to a fine dining restaurant can sometimes be a risk. Will the food be good? How will you be treated? Will it be worth the price? Californios is worth every penny. Food is packed with flavor, the menu seems thoughtfully planned, service is great, atmosphere is great, and the drink pairing really showcases the sommeliers knowledge. If you’re considering celebrating a milestone in your life and want to go to of the many Michelin star establishments in San Francisco, I would highly recommend Californios. A great demonstration of Mexican gastronomy!

There are certain restaurants you visit just for the food and others you visit just for the experience. Californios is a restaurant that excels in both. Chef Val Cantu and his team brought forth amazingly unique dishes and impeccable service in a trendy yet relaxing environment. Each dish presented was a delight for both the stomach and the eyes. Everything was beautifully plated and the flavor combinations were amazingly balanced. There were so many dishes that it’s difficult to pinpoint a single favorite, but honestly thats a testament on how good the food actually is – very rarely can I say that I enjoyed every dish at a restaurant. As for the service, it was top notch. The service staff were attentive without being overbearing and the read our family’s needs very well. It’s easy to tell that the people working there really enjoy their jobs. Overall, the meal was an absolute delight and the restaurant would be an excellent option if you’re looking for an impressive date night or special night out.

I have visited Californios twice. Both times were consistently excellent.

Being from Texas, Tex-Mex can be found on almost every street corner. A traditional or authentic Mexican meal is normally prepared in the cheapest manor possible. I have visited many Mexican restaurants that called themselves “Fine Mexican Dining” but still had all the normal Mexican dishes that you find in every other restaurant. Not at Californios. The chef took the Mexican cuisines and infused it with so much style and flavor that you will want to experience as often as you can. Not only is the chef from Texas, but he and the other chefs made our night out in San Francisco a memorable one. The food was excellent. For someone who does not like seafood, I ate every bit. The service was on point, explaining every detail of the meal, from the pairing of the wine to how each dish was prepared and suggested how to eat it for the full experience. At the end of our meal, we had the opportunity to meet the chefs and the wine vault.

Truly elevates Mexican cuisine to another level. The food was not only creative but also delicious. I came here with my significant other for my birthday and it was an incredible experience. Definitely a must try! Both of us loved it and will be coming back 🙂

Way beyond my expectations. The service staff were incredibly kind – knowledgeable and were able to answer every question. The food and presentation were spectacular. We’re so spoiled here in the Bay Area with the culinary arts that we are surrounded by. We sometimes take for granted what we have at our fingertips. Then we visit a place like this with it’s simple decor and unassuming address, and we’re smacked in the face with an experience that is absolutely unforgettable.

Best Michelin star restaurant we have been to! We travelled to SF to try 3 Michelin star restaurants in 3 days and Californios took 1st place — no questions asked. Food was out of this world and service was top tier. We will be back!

I must admit that I was a bit apprehensive about having a gourmet food and wine tasting experience at a Mexican restaurant. Really, how Is it possible to elevate the common appearance and taste of a taco, for instance? But my curiosity won out and I took the plunge. Wow, I was sure glad I did it.

Truly celebrates Mexican cuisine and elevate it to the next level. Everything was sooooo delicious (those ! I can just eat them for the rest of my life ) They also can adjust the ingredients a bit to adapt your dietary which I am always very thankful and excited when a Michelin star restaurant is willing to do so – it shows not just they are considerate to their guests, and also confident that their cuisines will still be amazing. Not too many places offer non-alcoholic beverage pairing , and when seeing one I definitely need to try – most of them are super creative and Californios is no exception! You can totally tasted that the beverage team put a lot of effort and thoughts to come up with this pairing, and it suited so well with the dishes (don’t always need alcohol to make you like the food ) A must-come-back place for me!

When you pay this much for a meal, it should be memorable. The only dishes I remember 2 weeks later are the lamb (which was divine) and the smoked quail (it tasted of nothing but smoke – no balance).
