"I recently visited El Tech Restaurant last Sunday, and I had a pleasant experience. Despite arriving at 11:15 am, just 15 minutes after their opening time at 11 am, the restaurant was already bustling with customers. I was impressed by the variety of vegetarian options available on their menu. I ordered the vegetable scramble and yuca frita, and I found the food to be delicious." -- Glad you enjoyed your time at El Techo, Rachana B!

"This Mexican eatery boasts one of the most toast-worthy views in the city. The open-air rooftop bar is bordered by glass walls, which protect you from breezes but allow the sun. (Big umbrellas are unfurled midday to block the glare.) Opt for summery concoctions like the Hummingbird, made with pisco acholado, ginger, chamomile, lime, yellow chartreuse and a dash of bitters, or the beachy Techo Tonic, which blends El Tesoro Blanco, apricot liqueur, falernum, sherry, lime and tonic. String lights and heat lamps flicker on at dusk, casting a moody, cozy glow." - Thanks for including El Techo on your list of top bars in SF, we couldn't agree more! 🤩
