Speaking of Nopalito and they’re arguably authentic but unarguably popular Mexican-Californian food, they’re opening another restaurant! Tablehopper catches the news that Nopa chef-owner Laurence Jossel and partners just signed the lease on the former Bistro 9 spot in the Sunset (1224 9th Avenue at Lincoln), and Nopalito chefs Gonzalo Guzman and Jose Ramos will have a bigger kitchen, a full basement to expand both restaurants’ whole-animal program, and “more opportunities to experiment and expand the menu’s offerings.” We’re looking at October or November, with construction still to do, and there’ll only be beer and wine to start.
