- Gonzalo Guzman has really climbed the ranks as a chef. When he first came to the United States from Mexico, he worked as a dishwasher at several different restaurants. Since then, he has worked his way up to become a head chef and partner of Nopalito, which has two locations and is one of the most popular restaurants in San Francisco.
We hung out with Gonzalo for a night out in SF to see how where he hangs on one of his rare days off. After heading out from the 9th Avenue location of Nopalito, Gonzalo makes his first stop at Nopa, the parent restaurant of Nopalito and the place where Gonzalo made his mark as a chef. The group shares guacamole and tequila cocktails, and then it's off to the Mission. The next stop is Lolo, one of the few Mexican restaurants Gonzalo trusts, for carnitas, octopus, and margaritas. For the final stop of the night, the gang dips to ABV for cheeseburgers and mezcal. The night is capped off at Nopalito on Broderick with cochinita pibil and a few beers, but not too many-after all, Gonzalo had work at 7 AM the next morning.

Hardworking, respectable human right there
This guy's work ethic is admirable. Gonzalo Gonzales Guzman. Triple G
Ironik M
lol you said it bro he is
I like this chef he's not an arrogant hipster, like you see a lot in this serie .
There's one good guy. Nice to see a polite talented chef on this series, man of the people, out visiting his buds and respecting the food rather than the usual dudes all inked up, drunk and loudmouthed and too cool for the hoi polloi that frequent their restaurants.
A lot of respect for this guy.
I'm from NY, but whenever I come to SF I eat here and at Nopa every day. The food is so good here I don't go anywhere else. I've never had such high quality Mexican food. You can't even find Mexican food like this in Mexico. Definitely the best Mexican food I've ever had. Fucking delicious, honestly. Watching Gonzalo cook gets my mouth watering like crazy. Can't wait to come back here. My 2nd favorite restaurant of all time. After Nopa, that is.
So refreshing seeing a good dude like Gonzalo make his mark on the culinary scene.
this guys commitment to his craft is truly humbling
love this quiet mexican, no shouting no douche no tattoos no hipster haircut, love him/
Gonzalo is the man. What a good dude, I would love to work for someone like that.
This reminds me everything I love and hate about San Francisco. The wanton gluttony of hipsters vs. people like Gonzalo, who has built the San Francisco culinary scene from behind the scenes with humility and insight via Mexico.
Wow,, Thank You for youre comment ....
Well said
What an amazing person. #inspiration
The culinary world needs more people like Gonzalo. None of this pretentious hipster bullshit we see far too much of.
Lauren is basically my dream girl.

This Gonzalo dude seems to be nice person
Anyone else think he said dog fat instead of duck lmao
+Ramses Bermudez 6:51 yeah LOL 😂

+Ramses Bermudez That's not too bad. In Cambodia I ate dog and the guy was telling me it's duck it's duck and was laughing..
+Ramses Bermudez omfg lol yes my heart skipped a heartbeat LOL

I knew he looked familiar. I saw him on Guys Triple D awhile back. His food looked amazing then and still does. I like this episode so far. Not some pretentious hipster douche bags.

Even his watch is humble. Glad someone gave him an opportunity, and got him out of the dish pit.
