The Bayview is getting a new seafood spot as well as several new restaurants, Tacos El Patron is coming to the Fillmore, and Horn Barbecue is now fully done, all in This Week in Food.

The Chronicle brings word this week of multiple new restaurants coming to the Bayview neighborhood thanks to startup grants from the city. These include Bayview Oyster Bar, opening next month from chef-owner April Spears, who previously operated the well loved Auntie April's, which closed during the pandemic. The menu will feature oysters, both raw and chargrilled New Orleans-style, as well as shrimp cocktails, Louie salads, and Dungeness crab dishes like a crab melt and whole crab with garlic noodles when it's in season. There will also be smoked clam chowder, cocktails, and desserts from neighborhood favorites Yvonne’s Southern Sweets and Divine Desserts.

Also coming to the Bayview in the coming months are an Ethiopian fast-casual spot called Moya Bayview, a Panamanian fusion restaurant called Properly Seasoned Kitchen, a new sandwich spot called Phatwood Smokehouse Deli, and a new bookstore/wine bar called Chapter 3.  These openings are all thanks to a wave of city grants under Mayor Daniel Lurie's Storefront Opportunity Grants program, which offer grants of up to $100,000 to cover startup costs for small businesses.

Quesabirria specialist Tacos El Patron is moving into the semi-cursed space at 1325 Fillmore Street that was most recently home to Nia Soul Cafe, and before that, also briefly, Scott's Chowder House. As the SF Business Times reports, this will be the largest location yet for Tacos El Patron, which has two other locations, including the original opened in 2019 at 1500 South Van Ness Avenue. The new location will feature an expanded menu of tacos de guisado and gorditas featuring heirloom corn from Mexico, according to co-owner Alberto Pineda, and the opening is coming within weeks.

It's now official: Horn Barbecue is dunzo. Pitmaster Matt Horn's briefly booming, much acclaimed barbecue operation was already down to one, infrequently open restaurant in downtown Oakland as of a month ago, following the closure of his barely six-month-old Fresno location, and now the Chronicle reports that the Oakland spot on 8th Street is officially closed for good, largely because Horn wasn't able to smoke meats on site there — which leads to the question of where the meats were coming from when the place was, occasionally, open. This was the former Matty's Old Fashioned, a short-lived sit-down restaurant concept, which along with chicken sandwich spot Kowbird, was one of a half-dozen ventures Horn took on in the span of just a couple of years. The barbecue business, which suffered a fire at its original West Oakland location, has since been dogged by allegations of wage theft and reports of unpaid vendors and rent, and Horn says that, for now, he'll continue to do catering, private events, popups and "live-fire experiences."

Fried chicken sandwich outfit The Bird, a sibling operation to Super Duper from Adriano Paganini's Back of the House restaurant group, is adding a new location in the Marina at 2031 Chestnut Street. There is no opening date yet, but the SF Business Times reports that the current tenant in the space, Asian Box, is nearing the end of its 10-year lease.

And one of the more popular breakfast burrito makers in town, Al Carajo, is expanding with Al Carajo Breakfast Burrito, which is moving into the space formerly occupied by breakfast sandwich purveyor Bandit at 683 Geary Street. The Chronicle, whose critics previously raved about the Al Carajo breakfast burrito made with chorizo and tater tots, reports that the new location will open this fall.

Chronicle critic Cesar Hernandez has a review this week of Sheba, a humble-looking Yemeni restaurant in Oakland's East Peralta neighborhood, where, he writes, compared to other local Yememi spots, "its lamb is juicier, its condiments kick harder, its bread is flakier." He raves about the "heavily" spiced butterflied pompano, and the best-seller on the menu, the generously portioned lamb haneeth, as well as the flaky bread called rashoush, that goes well with the foul and shakshuka.
