How to book Californios

  1. Book directly on OpenTable

    Californios takes reservations on OpenTable. Start there: pick your party size and date, and book any time that works. OpenTable lists it as Casual Elegant, dress code: business casual.

  2. Be flexible on the night and time

    Prime-time weekend tables at Californios go first. Weeknights, early seatings and late seatings are the easiest to find.

  3. Watch for cancellations

    When Californios shows nothing open, plans still change. Tables come back when other diners cancel, often a day or two ahead, and they go fast.

  4. Let TableWatch watch for you

    Set the nights, time window and party size in the TableWatch app. We check OpenTable around the clock and push you the moment a matching table opens. You book it on OpenTable in your own account.

About Californios

We invite you to dine with us at Californios and experience a contemporary expression of Mexican cuisine using the bountiful ingredients of the Bay Area. Californios is a family owned and operated California Mexican restaurant. We opened our doors in the Mission District in 2015 and moved to our current location in 2020. With tall ceilings and a warm interior, our space allows for absolute comfort. Val M. Cantú, chef and owner, and his team execute a deft and choreographed nightly tasting menu displaying the abundance of each season. The wine, bar, and service team, pair and complement the cuisine at every turn. Reservations are released on the first of every month at 10:00 AM (PST) two months in advance. We genuinely look forward to welcoming you in!
