Alright, San Francisco foodies, get ready for a culinary remix that’s about to shake up the Mission district! 🔥

El Techo, the legendary rooftop spot, is making a comeback with a Cuban twist that’s going to have your taste buds doing the salsa. Restaurateur Adriano Paganini is serving up serious tropical realness with Cubita, a new concept that’s basically a one-way ticket to vintage Havana without leaving the Bay Area.

A Rooftop Transformed

Forget everything you knew about the old space. We’re talking checkerboard floors, palm trees, and a vibe so authentic you’ll swear you’ve time-traveled to a pre-revolution Cuban nightclub. The menu? Pure fire. Think tostones that’ll make your abuela proud, mojo-marinated chicken wings that’ll have you questioning everything you thought you knew about wing sauce, and empanadas de ropavieja that are basically a culinary love letter to Cuba.

Cocktail Game Strong

But let’s be real - we’re here for the drinks. Cubita isn’t playing around with their cocktail game. A clarified piña colada with Cognac? Cuban classics like the Mojito and Hemingway Daiquiri? It’s like a liquid vacation in a glass. Pro tip: arrive early, these seats are gonna be hotter than a San Francisco summer.

Cubita opens Friday, June 6th, and we’re already marking our calendars. Weekday happy hour starts at 4 pm, weekend brunch kicks off at 11 am. Consider this your official invitation to transform your evening from basic to absolutely legendary.
