At Ponce's Mexican Restaurant, we believe enriching the lives of those who walk through our door is the primary purpose of being in business. This includes: Our Guests; who are able to shed their stresses when they sit down to a comfortable & affordable meal at the end of a long day of work, establishing traditions by gathering for a weekly meal with loved ones, share a post-game lunch after little league, host a holiday party, meet their mate and propose marriage, learn about tequilas, meet neighbors, network at a business lunch, and so on. Amazing food, excellent service, and a welcoming atmosphere help us accomplish our goals. We've strived for this in the tradition of Ponce Meza Sr. since 1969, and look forward to sharing that experience for many years to come.

French in spirit yet distinctly California, this nouveau brasserie builds on the foundation that has made TRUST Restaurant Group one of the city’s most lauded: cooking over charcoal, vibrant flavors, simple techniques, and a willingness to take risks. The energy inside the restaurant is immediate - refined without feeling formal, polished but never stiff, with an easy sense of grandeur that feels grounded and lived-in. This is North Park, after all.

• Steakhouse • Little Italy
Booked 97 times today
The American steakhouse is an iconic restaurant institution. We’d wanted to tell that story for years, but waited until we had the skill, talent and ability to execute it properly, and the right space to be our canvas, an important corner in Little Italy, a neighborhood where we have deep roots. We brought an almost academic appreciation for steakhouse history and tradition to Born & Raised, while trying to stay relevant and authentic to ourselves and our city. Our dry-aged beef pays tribute to earlier, earthier, pre-government grading practices and is the centerpiece of a meal best savored at a slow pace. A timeless celebration of everything that makes restaurants so special. - Consortium Holdings. A 4% surcharge is added to all guest checks.

    Our server was absolutely amazing. Checked in on us enough to feel taken care of but not so much that it was interfering with our date. The food was absolutely phenomenal. If you have to order one thing, order the chicken shawarma hummus. Absolutely a game changer. All the food was amazing, the drinks were great, and of course the ambiance is unlike any other place. I also asked for a special request to show appreciation for my partner, and they gave us a free dessert with a customized macaron that had our names. 10/10 night.
