Our exploration of nopales continues with the foam of our newest cocktail. Typically, a foam is made using a hydrocolloid. For this one, chef Val suggested to pass cactus paddles through a juicer to extract the slimy green interior liquid. By putting it in a whipped cream canister, the result is 100% pure nopales espuma that is fresh and grassy. With a Yerena Farms Strawberry x Tapatio Tequila base and a green strawberry tajin rim, La Chica Fresa tastes like summer.

This cocktail was first created for the Iron Shaker Cocktail competition in Napa. Daní has continued to develop and evolve the recipe, paying homage to California Nopales, Fresas, and Sunshine. Salud.

Triple Delight Blueberries are the star of our current empanada. Triple Delight is a six-generation California Family Farm located in Fresno, famed for their delicious and concentrated blueberries.

We encourage you to visit Triple Delight on your next visit to the Ferry Building Farmers Market and then stop by Californios to experience how we transform their luscious berries in our dessert course.

As we prepared to reopen in our current location, Louis walked through the doors of Californios with his sleeves rolled up to apply for the position of a humble back waiter. Through countless services, he out-worked everyone around him and rose to the role of General Manager.

On the ground, he is fearless: running food, clearing plates, touring guests. His warmth and passion shows how at home he is in the hospitality industry, where he has spent his entire professional career.

Behind the scenes, he is a positive force who takes a holistic approach to leadership. In the last few years, Louis has unified the Californios team and rallied our passion for culture and service.

His visionary and thoughtful approach to hospitality has shaped Californios into the institution it is today. Cheers to 5 years!

Thank you & for photos!

Service starts at 5pm.

Our dining room team has already set the stage. Table clothes and napkins ironed to sharp points.

The team is focused on hospitality. On welcoming guests into our home.

Service requires constant movement and energy to transport the plates from the pass.

Their dedication to the craft of hospitality elevates our cuisine.

By sharing the stories of our farmers and purveyors, they weave the story of Californios into our service.

We are grateful for the hands of our dining room team and for the genuine hospitality that they share with our guests.

This Earth Day we are proud to present Californios’ Sustainability Pledge. This pledge is a promise to our guests, and more importantly to ourselves that what we do in our restaurant has value and meaning.

Sourcing our cuisine from as locally as possible makes our experience completely unique. Our job is to enhance the already amazing ingredients that our local farmers and purveyors provide to us.

Minimizing waste is something that any good kitchen practices. But post processing is just as important.

Sustainability is also important in context of our team. If we don’t treat each other with respect in the kitchen, there will be no one to carry on this legacy. By creating a Professional kitchen, we encourage the next generation of chefs.

Lastly having a real impact in our community gives meaning to our work and to our lives. It is not enough to just source good ingredients. A wise chef once reminded me that, All ingredients come from a farm. Californios has put in work to raise money for causes that we believe in, including Meals on Wheels and LA Fire Relief.

We are glad to share these pledges and hope that other organizations will use this as framework for their own sustainable future.
