SoMa: SF Café (1161 Mission) was open a few weeks back, we swear, but now it’s closed, with a full sandwich menu still on the board inside and the counters set up for service. Permitting issues perhaps? [Grub Street]
Dogpatch: Magnolia Gastropub and Brewery is planning a second outpost at 22nd and 3rd, across from Serpentine. [Tablehopper]

Western Addition: New taqueria El Rancho has opened at 855 Divisidero. [Tablehopper]
