Savoteur: "Hidden behind aged brick and gleaming wood is Drake’s Dealership. There are heaters and fire pits to keep things cozy on chilly nights, and the beer list features all of Drake’s finest brews."

Alex Tenette: "Their tacos are probably the best around. Their burritos are pretty good too, but go here for the tacos. They don't skimp on the meat and their open late on weeknights."

Brodie Olmstead: "Gorgeous and spacious venue with good sound. Floor seats are the way to go, but you'll have a great time from any seat. Ridiculously easy to get to via BART."

Adrian Phillips: "Get the Cubano with a side of plantains. Don't order anything else as this is a colossal amount of food for one person. There's seating out back. Be sure to take some of that habanero sauce with you."
