The Mission Old Town

This restaurant could easily be mistaken for the actual Old Adobe Mission next door—you’re looking for the place without the steeple, but with the tableside guacamole. The dim dining room has bronze angel statues and gothic crosses on the walls, along with shiny chandeliers that give the place a sexy vibe. Their roasted pork shoulder tacos, smoked and braised for 12 hours and served with hand-pressed tortillas, are your bible for date night romance. It’s a build-your-own plate prepared for two and a subtle way to test for dealbreakers, including whether or not your date likes cilantro or if they’re the kind of person who puts toppings before the protein.
