Methinks El Delfin's caldo de res put on lipstick and had its hair done before this photo shoot, but you get the idea.
I had a whole seasonal angle in mind for this week's full-length restaurant review of Mexican, Salvadoran, and Guatemalan soups in the Mission. And then, well ... just look out the window. You'll just have to eat soup for the love of it, not its chill-dispelling effects.
The neighborhood is rich with options. There are pozoles ruddy with chiles and spiked with cilantro and lime, as well as
caldos with deep, dark broths and lightly poached vegetables. You may have to set your cell phone's calendar to remind you that Tuesday is
sopa de albondigas day at
SanJalisco, or that Sunday is the day to find menudo and pozole at
Gallardos and
El Delfin. Over the course of a few months of eating, I've probably tasted two dozen of the Mission's soups -- and then picked four of my favorites to write about.
