Michelin Guide "The sexy decor befits this Brazilian churrascaria, which specializes in authentic rodfzio meals with limitless roasted meats stealing the scene."

Pampas Restaurant Review: A modern presentation of Brazil's "churrasco" dining, Pampas' lofty 8,000-plus square-foot space avoids an airplane hangar-esque feel due to the warmth of a walnut-lined cocktail bar, a lounge accented with earthy furnishings such as acacia wood stools, and a cleverly designed tri-level dining area.

Time Out "Tacolicious sits on a block that's at the heart of the Mission gentrification, bridging the gap between the old Hispanic district and the young tech hub." Full review

"At Tacolicious, they bring you free chips and tasty salsa the second you sit down. As someone who is almost constantly in a state of hunger, this is vital to my happiness." Full review
