Weekly Recommendation
This week’s recommendation is to try the ahi tuna tostadas at Crafty Fox Ale House in the Mission District. These bad boys come with hazelnut cream, XO sauce, ponzu, and daikon radish for the perfect bite. They just celebrated their 10 year anniversary yesterday and are hosting a holiday market along with Brick & Mortar today til 4pm.
