SF Getting a 2nd Boozy Late-Night Taco Bell “Cantina”
San Francisco is getting a second Taco Bell Cantina, this time landing at Fisherman’s Wharf in the heart of Anchorage Square. The new spot is set to take over the old Auntie Anne’s and Chipotle spaces at 333 Jefferson Street and will serve alcohol late into the night.
Unlike your typical Taco Bell, Cantina locations come with a full drink menu including beer, wine, sangria, and frozen cocktails. The city’s other Cantina, near Oracle Park, is open until 3am daily. The Wharf location is expected to keep similar hours, serving booze until California’s 2am cutoff.
The Cantina concept brings a more modern, lounge-style feel with open kitchens, exposed brick, and charging stations — a place to actually hang out instead of just grab-and-go. That vibe, paired with booze and late hours, could draw a solid late-night crowd in a neighborhood where most restaurants shut down by 9pm.
The City’s only In-N-Out has long been the Wharf’s only late-night option, closing by 1am on weekdays and 1:30am on weekends. But with the new Cantina serving tacos until 3am and alcohol until 2, Fisherman’s Wharf is finally getting a true after-hours alternative.
The opening also marks a small win for Anchorage Square and ties into broader efforts to bring life back to the Wharf after years of pandemic-era closures. The new Taco Bell Cantina is expected to open in late 2025 or early 2026.
