Arguello

The Marina, Fisherman’s Wharf & the Piers


Located within the Presidio Officers' Club, this lively Mexican restaurant by James Beard Award–winner Traci Des Jardins features cooking techniques and dishes from a different Mexican state each month, including small plates good for sharing and several mains (look for the standout marinated pork shoulder).

The bar has one of the largest agave-based spirit selections in the city and makes great margaritas. Sip them fireside in the adjoining Moraga Hall, the former officers'-club lounge, or by a fire pit in the courtyard.
