Xica
Here to add some much-needed zing to casual brunch-lunch is Xica. The newly relocated gluten-free Mexican spot smack dab in Levi’s Plaza (near the Embarcadero) is feel-good energy personified. It’s got big, bold murals, plants, upbeat music filling the high-ceilinged space, and a sunny patio next to a trickling fountain. Prepare for shrimp tacos on dragon fruit-infused tortillas, fried egg-topped chilaquiles, and extra bready chicken and waffles. Xica, unlike the news cycle and your inbox, is a happy place. So do the smart thing and come here with friends, co-workers, and anyone looking to jazz up a weekday morning.
